May 30-June 5
A rainy Sunday ....The sun seems in a bad humor and frowns continually. Jimmy's [the slave woman who died earlier] little baby Catherine died on Saturday. It seemed a mercy that it was taken, little sufferer that it was. Read Jackson on Baptism. The last case of measles is now out making in all among blacks and whites, 32 cases. Wrote to Miss Vallant. Had a nice long letter from Dr. Lea. Sue, Jim, Nannie and I spend a day with Mary Walker. She is much improved by her trip South. Some visitors this week, Mrs Wood and cousin Lucy Maury. Saturday evening, Mary Lewis, Jeff and Peg Taylor walk over and make us a call.
