July 15-21
Too poorly to attend church. Read Mr. Slaughter's new book Man and Domain ....What a work he proposes for the men of the present day! Who will be the ones to begin? Do some letter writing this week. I had neglected so many of my correspondents for such a time that I may seldom have such a treat as a letter. A letter from Lizzie Minor in Missouri. She is very anxious to come to Virginia to go to school. Wants some information on the subject. I shall write to brother Jim about it. Do a good deal of sewing this week although I'm very poorly. Teach school. Take Ellen for a while so as to get her to reading a little .....Such a lovely sweet letter from Sue who tells me of her present from "Mike", a pair of beautiful Canary Birds. Wants me to name them. I propose Paul Emanuel and Lucy Summer. Wrote to her a length, 12 pages, the next day. Read Tales of the Alhambra.
