The Slave triangle
Saturday, April 10, 1869.
Rose late Mr. Shermen called on me before breakfast. I gave me money to go home with. Bought books. Heard private classes. Attended to book accounts. Finished ‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin.’ Over this, I cried profusely. What heart would not melt at perceiving such woes? I believe it was providential that I did not read it before the fall of Slavery; for I might have died a martyr as Uncle Tom did.
Yesterday the Freedmen commemorated the day as the anniversary of the fall of Richmond.
The weather is cold chilly and damp. I have a fire in my room as a consequence.
Sunday, April 11. 1869
Dreary cold snowing. Afternoon attended Foreman preaching. Read a part of the day.
Monday. April 12. 1869
Nothing occurred to arrest the attention of a steady worker. Wrote Mrs. Armstead. Read a part of the autobiography of a shaker. Mr. Victor told me we must teach the colored people the n-word and also that they are n-words.’ I told him that we were doing no such thing.
Tuesday, April 13. 1869.
A cold morning again. I think the fruit is injured.
Wrote Corson & Read in Atlantic Monthly. Note by a carpetbagger in Penna. The rest of the time I taught. Rev. White visited our school today. He addressed the school.
Wednesday, April 14. 1869.
Busy till Ten O’clock at night. I was terribly fooled this evening. Mr. Schadd, a colored teacher of Phila arrived this evening. I took him to the Washington House for supper. This was refused him on account of his color. My God! What does this mean? I had an insulting letter from Maria. How do I feel? God give me grace.
Thursday, April 15. 1869.
Sent Mr. Schadd to Appomattox. Wrote Maria.
Friday, April 16. 1869.
The weather has now become warm. Neglected one of my private classes. The bad company diverted my attention. Went to Alum Springs.
Saturday, April 17. 1869.
R. S. Lacey is confirmed as the Assessor.
I was working half a day fixing my clothes. Mrs. Armistead called on me. I bought her some books. Drew $80.00 money on cigars. Wrote Bauman & Corson. Had a letter from Corson and one from Mrs. M. R. Rile. Wrote Mrs. Lanning Cookwell Va.

Over 1,500 armed constables arrested many people, including leaders Te Whiti o Rongomai and Tohu Kākahi. Te Whiti and Tohu were imprisoned in Christchurch without a trial and treated as curiosities.
