Journal entry written by Henry Underwood

Journal Entry, May 6, 1863
Scotland Fling
Manuscripts Collection MSS 58 II, 1, 7, #1
Item/Collection Note: Henry, the fifteen-year-old son of U. S. consul to Glasgow, Scotland, Warner Lewis Underwood, began keeping his journal on January 2, 1863. Henry's ambivalent attitude regarding Scotland is evident in his various entries as one day he exalts Scotland, but a couple of days later he exclaims that he wishes very much that he could go home. His recorded thoughts on May 6, 1863, are: "To day was very hot and rainey so we could have no games in school and had a very dull day as I generaly do in this horid place scotland."
