I went today to Rev Barbols Church the Sexton was about giving me a pew in the Gallery I declined and left. He said the [[?]] men rented. We are compelled to be sensitive and tenacious of our rights or else we will be sunken by the Americause. I went to the Advent, but was too much engrossed with the Barbol Church incident to enjoy my religious duties except the Litany.

Here all day: hard at work finishing up my writing I was introduced to a colored lady who graduated at one of the Medical Colleges here.

Mathius came in and spent the afternoon.
