May 13th Monday

It is very cold. Had a fire to sit by yesterday & today & found it very comfortable. A very cold wind & found it very unpleasant riding as we all but Harvey went up to the cemetery, the quiet city of the dead where the remains of our dear parents rest. Have fixed the monument- have put up a new base, & head stones to the graves of Pa & Ma & the yard is very nice & kept in fine order & the thought so sad that we ne’er can meet again in this world. But oh! we hope to see them again in that bright world beyond that is especially prepared for those who love & serve God here, let us be more earnest more faithful.
