Nov 27 - Feel better. Rode out and got view from high bank of Elk river. News of a success by Sherman and Hooker over Bragg. Feel new ambition to be diligent. I improve my time that I may not years hence have to mourn over wasted days.
Nov 28 - Saturday. Studied and went about as usual. Feel entirely well again. Fixed some rough seats in an upper room for service. Good news of Hooker and Sherman driving the rebels. 5000 prisoners and 40 cannon.
Nov 29 - Very cold hay. Hence held very short meetings noon and evening. Few out in a.m. A battery sergeant died suddenly of apoplexy. Cold feet at night.
Nov 30 - Reading Mill on Liberty. Some good thoughts on tyranny of public opinion, originality and self assertion. Officiated at sergeant's funeral in eve. His piece fired three times. Fixed stove in chapel.
