Feb. 28-March 6

At church on Sunday and hear a part of a sermon from Mr. Meade but he had to give up before he finished on account of sickness. The weather very cold. Get the ice house filled from Col. [Thomas J.] Randolph's and Dr. [Charles D.] Everett's pond. A letter from Sally and Dr. Lea. They are much pleased with their house in Mississippi. Sally tells me her dog weighs 110 lbs and is very intelligent. Saturday, Mary Lewis comes home and brings Lydia Wood, Peggie Carr and Peggie Taylor and Mr. Jeff Taylor with her. They are prevented from returning in the evening by a snow storm. Stay until Sunday morning.
