An intimate look into the daily life of a community leader, with passages ranging from “helped can peaches most of the day. [...] prepared bulletin for Rally Day Service. Now at evening I must prepare for Sunday” (September 13) to more personal ones such as “Home sick. desirous to see my darling little girl. I left Buffalo at 9 pm” (June 29).
