May 11th  Have been busy all day preparing for an excursion into Virginia.  Dr. Denham a Scotch clergyman & his wife are with us.  Dr. D. is one of a party of clergymen sent from the free churchs of Scotland & Ireland as delegates to the churches of America.  He is a fine looking specimen of the genus homo.
12th Sunday.  Mr. Wells one of the Foreign delegates preached for us in the morning.  Mr. Guthree son of one of the clergymen appointed to accompany the party of free church men dined with us.  His Father had been obliged to turn back after starting on account of sea sickness.  Dr. Fairbairn another of the delegates preached for us in the evening.  Dr. Denham went to the negro church & was much schocked by the exebition of animal excitement he witnessed.  
13th  Dr. & Mrs. Denham left us this morning. Louis
