Arose 9.A.M. – am unspeakably lazy and given to idle daydreaming – I went to S.S. – am anxious to resign as Sect. the position I have held three years – and seek new & deeper channels. Visited Mary Deane in P.M. She seems very helpless and very brave & cheery – seemed so please at my calling that I was quite glad I did.<\/span><\/p>\n
