Sunday the 23 rain last night a little showery this morning-
Cleared up about 12 oclock, went with the Childern to Camp meet-
ing, a Mr Rhodes preached, that is to say, he made a noise, rather
productive of scaring babys than to convert men to christianity,
when a man undertakes to teach others that which he does not
understand himself he must make it up in Bawling, or ranting, or
talking, right down nonsense, 0 ! allmighty Father ! Creator of the
universe! how those childern of theine cut up Shines in they holy

to make even they holy angels weep"- Red River mail came &

tions for the different members of the Northern & Eastern Coun-
ties for distribution delivered & send all off this Evening- Capt

the Revd Mr Cawley preached at the Court House, of Course every
body was there, if not to see a good Christian made out of an old
Sinner, but to hear Mr Cawley preach- it is useless to say that
everybody was well pleased- Made a contract to day with Mr
James Eakin to let him have the Patricio de Torress place till
1st October 1843 for $15.00 better this then nothing, as the place
was going to ruin fast
