June 27-July 3
Miss Vallant leaves early this morning. Harvest commences. The warmest weather I ever felt. Nelson, the servant, died in the harvest field from a sunstroke. Truly in the midst of life we are in death. On Sunday, Mr. Meade preaches. Three infants are baptized today. Read Peruvians by W.J. Coreybean. A very reasonable book but one that I'm rather suspicious of though it proposses to have been written for a good purpose. Friday Sue and I go to town to see the Military companies turn out for the 4th of July which is this year celebrated on the 3rd. We stay until after Sunday. I spend my time at Dr. Leitch's and Mr. Brown's. At the last place on Saturday I dine with quite a juvenile party as there were many children. Brother Jim was also there. A letter from my brother William [Woolfolk Minor of Missouri.] He sends me a picture of his youngest child and a fine looking fellow he is. Emma Bailey stays with us at Dr. Leitch's. We enjoy her company much. We are introduced to The Happy Family.
