parted him and our sister Anna , he was forgiven. He was very penetent.
It was decided that Preist Young would seal him & Rosanna, leaving
him and -Anna to settle their own difficulties, which they did.
The Boys' ball came tonight, which included many who did not clean
any guns and intruded on the boys. They were named out and ordered
