Sept. 5-12
Hear Mr. Meade [preach] ....Sue, Daddy, Jim and I go down in two buggies to Uncle Bob's to see Miss Vallant who has just returned from her summer trip north. While there she did some shopping for us which we find to our satisfaction. Aunt Ria sends Sue and I a pretty picture for The Lodge, some of her own work. Have a pleasant day with the Castilians. Mary Walker and Tom R. call one evening. Mary Walker looks so frail. A refreshing shower this week. It is much needed. Sept. 15th hear of the death of Cousin Jim Trice. He died on the 9th in New Orleans of yellow fever. Dear Cousin Jim, some of the happiest of my sunny childhood hours are associated with him, the memory of which will ever be bright. Sept. 17th Miss Vallant, Robert [Lewis] and little Maggie come up in the Black Warrior and spend Saturday and Sunday with us. Pay Miss Vallant back for the New York purchases.
