December 7, 1819 – no entry (Thaddeus Journal)
7. – I am now directly east of the spot where lie a brothers bones. Parental affection wounded by that sad stroke seems to have been seconded by my recent departure. But why do friends mourn my absence, when I go on an errand of mercy to a people sitting in darkness and the shadows of death? (Samuel Whitney Journal)
