The Journal of Charles Rawn
February 7, 1836 to August 1, 1836 (Book 7)
Edited by Angela L. Eifert Key
In this section of the journal, Rawn continues his usual activities in his law office on Front Street near Market Square. Before going to the office in the morning, he often rose early to work in his garden, or else he went to market. We see that his fees were often around $10 but went as high as $50 and $94. His interest, either paid or earned, he often calculated. We calculate that his professional expenses for a year were $1,900 and his receipts were $2,400, for a positive balance of $500. Gov. Wolfe and future president James Buchanan both paid him a visit in his office during this period.
Rawn provides more information on his religiosity in this section. For example, he writes that he "commenced family worship," which he called an "entertainment of the soul." He attended a temperance meeting and also lectured at one. He writes of listening to an argument between a Universalist and a Presbyterian preacher on "the doctrine of endless punishment hereafter." Rawn thought the Presbyterian made the case on behalf of punishment. Another time he mentions he heard "first rate preachers." He sometimes attended the Episcopal church with his wife and her "Mother Clendenin," and otherwise he attended services at Rev. DeWitt’s Presbyterian church. His journal entries on the Sabbath are quite limited and suggest he treated that as a day of rest.
But he was no self-denying Puritan. He mentioned having ale with friends at Nagle’s Hotel on more than one occasion, and another time he attended a "select party" where Gov. Ritner and Philadelphia’s Nicholas Biddle were guests.
Rawn’s daughter Elizabeth was one year old and was under treatment by Dr. William W. Rutherford. He wrote of acquiring sheep wool for her highchair. He noted that she walked by herself at age 13 months and 10 days.
Rawn often mentions if those who worked for him were "colored," and also if any of his clients were black. Mary Thomas, "our black girl," he paid 75 cents a week.
One of the most fervent moments in this section refers to his paying a fine for not attending a militia meeting. He paid this with "more reluctance than any other money I part with."
In late May, 1836, Rawn traveled to Philadelphia to see his mother and other relatives. They traveled by canal boat from Harrisburg to Lancaster, then by railroad to Philadelphia, where they spent a few weeks. Their servant girl Mary accompanied them. Rawn attended a Democratic party meeting there.
Rawn notes that on July 4, 1836, the Declaration of Independence was read in public.
