Did not get up before about 11 and had breakfast at 12 o’clock – consequently did not go to church. Went in the evening to a Union meeting at M.E. church to a temperance meeting by AC Rankin – from Fargo formerly of Pittsburg, Pa. He said he was not a reformed drunkard but told of a man who was a rich hatter how he worked himself up buying cattle then commenced to drink. Lost money, [rest of entry is in shorthand.]
