Feb. 7-13

Not able to attend church. Dine with Cousin Isabella this week. I'm still very poorly. Suffer much with my head. Have several visits from Charlotte who is staying in town. Friday, Daddy comes for me and although it is snowing we set off. Find the Pantopians right glad to see me and I feel so thankful to be among them once more. It seems regretful after all the kindness I've received from cousin Lou and her household to be so anxious to get away from them, but it was not because I was not fond of them but, "It's home, it's home I fain would be." Little Dick is much better though he has fallen off very much. While in town read the following books, Life of Mr. Jackson, Boys at Home, a child's book but very entertaining, Rose Clark by Fanny Fern and the following by C.B. Taylor: May You Like It, Thankfulness, Earnestness, Anael's Song, Margaret or The Pearl, Record of a Good Man's Life, Mark Wilson. Beautiful books all of them. I attend Ellen Adams marriage in the Episcopal Church on the 19th of Jan. The groom, Mr. Price, was my cousin. Had letters while away from S.P. Williamson, B. Bankhead, Lizzie Dee and Jimmy L. He sends me a tuft of Pluto's fuzz with a blue ribbon. Quite a fall of snow this week. Fear our chances for getting ice are bad. Oh, to think of the long, hot summer without any!
