7 mo. 6.Thought an awful solemnity was the covering of our small gathering yesterday morning, under which I felt truly thankful to the Dispenser of every gift; and was enabled to crave his assistance to maintain the watch with greater diligence, and pursue the ways of peace with alacrity of soul. 29th and 30th.

If there could be any difference, the solemnity with which the thing was done was an aggravation of the insult.
