Jan 23 - Thawing and mild. Studied considerably. Evening at [St. Andrew's Episcopal] church [pictured below]. Heard choir practice. Talked with William Bruce on church matters. Says he tried to re-establish the prayer meeting but failed.
Jan 24 - Mild, thawing and sloppy. Fair attendance in a.m. Preached on John 14:15. P.m. read in Owen. Enjoy his treatise on the person of Christ. Eve at Methodist church [pictured below]. Offered prayer.
Jan 25 - Milder. Walked, read and wrote one or two letters. Evening Mr [?] O Howard came to attend to a suit bought by R. Dewitt against the estate. Mrs Eades [Ella's grandmother] recovering.
Jan 26 - Fair, mild weather but very muddy. Enjoy talking with citizens. Reading Owen and miscellany. Doubt whether to take my wife to Columbus at close of furlough. Eve called at Mrs Williams and Kellogg.
Jan 27 - Same weather as yesterday. Reading and writing. At Mrs Packard's eve. Took tea and staid evening at Mrs Hoyle's with wife. It seems lonely there compared with the former large family.
