Dec. 13-19
Mr. Meade preaches from Matt 3:19. I come home after church and find Daddy has returned. He made his appearance very unexpectedly on Saturday. Mary Lewis at home sick. The hogs are killed this week; a pig tail feast for dinner. Hear of Ellen Gilmer's death. She died on Sunday morning about four o'clock. Her last end was peace. Wrote to Sally Lea, brother Peter, Betty Bankhead, Miss Betsey Catlett and Lizzie Dee. Get the Xmas Tree all ready-at least find it and get the articles all ready to be hung on. Saturday, Sue, Mammy E and I go over to call on Mrs Michie and are introduced to her sister Miss Budd; quite a pretty looking girl. We also call to see Cousin Lou Leitch. Sue has a letter from Ellen Macmurdo telling us she will be up on Thursday next. Kathleen [Macmurdo] has to stay at home and play darkie during the holidays.
