I was more exhaused last night that I had ever been at any
meeting - exceedingly tired. I never
went out of the Hotel. Cumming kept me
company - in the course of the day I conversed with two confirmed drunkards,
and got them to sign the Pledge. In the
evening I attended the Convivial meeting in the Hall - it was crowded to
suffocation but I must confess I was not
pleased with it - it was too formal and had too much of the theatrical for me.After the meeting I had a conversation with a Printer, who showed me a very old edition of the Bible. It belonged to the poet Cowper, and had been purchased in Rome.
