Sunday. September. 14. 1851. Sing Sing.
Clouded and Cold wind blowing from the North.
This change makes us all shiver with cold, my feet and hands feel
like winter. We did not go to church, but took waggons, and
rode up to see mother. Found them sitting over a good fire. Mr H.
took Ferdinand and Bell, Julia, Remsen to coloured Camp meeting.
Louis drove Margaret & Sarah, much to his displeasure.
I sat by the fire with mother, the girls, and took a walk, the sun
shone lovely. We returned to dinner Garret brought back his load
from Camp much pleased. They went to Tarry town church
after dinner, called to see me on the way. Julia went to ride with her
father to “Dobbs ferry”. Louis followed them on horse.back.
I went to bed on a flannel blanket, covered myself with a comfortable &
went to sleep, to get warm. Garret came home chilled with cold,
and did not get warm all night. I had chills in the night; a bad
sign.
