The following text is presented here in complete form, as it originally appeared in print. Spelling and typographical errors have been preserved as in the original.
20th. On returning to Mrs. S.'s. I was told that Miss K. was there. After a while Miss Jane came down with her. We met in good faith & heart: my reception from her was kinder than I had anticipated. She talked on as sweetly as ever. She is changed.
I went about to see various acquaintances. It was during vacation. Some of the old students were there; but those of my association were mostly abroad on the earth. It is a painful thing to return to such scenes: man was never made, I believe, to go or look backward.
