- Summary:
- The diary is mostly concerned with social events - mostly day-to-day routine, and highlights the cloistered existence of the invalid Miss Wilmore. The diary illustrates how close people were, at the time, to the church and Bible, 'The Lord' seemed to be regarded as someone or something very frightening. She says when speaking of the death of a 'beloved friend'. 'A lingering illness in which The Lord dealt very graciously with her and wonderfully supported her family'. Her obsessions with illness and death makes this account quite funereal.
