Sept. 20-26
A beautiful sermon from Richard Davis from the text, "Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of Life."....Cousin Jim Trice spends a day and night with us, a very unexpected pleasure. He is getting to be such a stout old gentleman. He is very anxious to take Sue and I out to Clarksville with him. Says we must write him word when we are ready and he will come for us. I think it a very fair offer. Get the hyacinths and tulips put out. It is quite a job. Lizzie Dee comes Tuesday and spends the rest of the week with us; as a matter of course we enjoy her company, such kindred spirits as we are. Cousin Jimmy back again for a night. Hear he is thinking of going to the University this session. Hope he may do honor to the Lewis name. Cousin Howel and Henry to dine with us. Ma very poorly. Got lots of togs for the Fair, among them a nice silk dress which is pretty and genteel. How I will have to stitch, stitch, stitch with fingers weary and worn to get ready in time.
