Sept. 18-19
Cousin Fielding [Thomas Fielding Lewis of Locust Hill] send me the long promised dog. He is a real baby dog and cries continually. I call him Bruno after our old pet. A visit from cousins Howel and Sarah. We have a cozy time. Cousin Sarah loses her carpet bag on her way from Ivy Creek and in it one of her best dresses. I began my school and have determined to put my heart more into the work. It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the to house of feasting for that is the end of all men and the living will lay it to his heart.. I attend today the funeral of Miss Lizzie Pom. The sermon was preached by Dr. McGuffey....Truly it may be said of her, blessed are the dead who died in the Lord, that they may rest from their labors and their works do follow them.
