Abstract:
Mentions gaining weight ever since arriving in Vermont. States that the lectures are around one fourth completed and that he wishes they were over despite them being interesting to attend. Currently attending six to eight lectures a day. Discussion of a comet passing through the region, causing wonder. Millerites believed the sighting to be a sign of the end of the world. Attended a scientific lecture on comets that described the comet “shaking its tail” and the resulting dust turning into snowfall. Comments on Louisa's education and teaching and hints at the possibility of their future together.
