July 5-11
No church. Sister Mary and Brother Jim spend Wednesday night with us. They are driven in again the next night by stress of weather .... Mr. Hart also calls to escape the cloud. Hear Jimmy Davis is coming to the University next session. He has a great passion for curtailing cats of their fair proportions. Think I shall have Pets' ears and tails insured. Have my hopes much raised about visiting the Rawley Springs. Brother Jim thinks my health will be improved by a jaunt over the [Blue Ridge] mountains, but where is "the almightly dollar" to be found. Mammy E says we have nothing to wear. I would be quite willing to go without the dresses. Read Castle Avon. Also finish Little Dorrit. What a delightful book it is. I always feel in a better humour with myself and the rest of the world after reading one of Dicken's stories. A note from Lizzie Dee telling us Uncle Sam was expected on the 9th. Suppose he has now come and Aunt Ria is all "Nods and becks and wreathed smiles."
