I brought him home to dinner, and count this a happy day. I have heard the true word of God to-day from Frederick Hedge — a sermon on Love as the true bond of society, which lifted my weak soul as on the strong wings of a cherub.

Melancholy, thinking that I did but poorly last evening [at a reading from her Notes on Travel at the Church of the Disciples]. ... At the afternoon concert felt a savage and tearful melancholy, a profound friendlessness. In the whole large assembly I saw no one who would help me to do anything worthy of my powers and life-ideal.
