Feb. 24-March 2
We go to church in the waggon and hear Mr. Meade preach....Sam comes home with us. We have a long walk in the evening. I'm improving much in health. Monday evening Dave, Maggie and I go over to Dr. Leitch's to spend the night in order to be on time for the cars the next morning. After tea I go with Cousin Lou to her prayer meeting and hear such a fine address from a Mr. Vass. Tuesday morning take the cars for Music Hall. Sister Betty, niece Betty, Maggie Brown and little Cornelia are of the party. Find brother Jim in Orange but he returns Wednesday and brings me word that my friend Sally Williamson will perhaps join me here next week ....Do so much visiting. Go to The Creek Thursday Feb. 28th in honor of Jimmy's birthday and have a charming time. Cousin Sarsh is so well in health and spirits. She give us sherry puddings for dinner; great extravagence for the hard times. Miss Eatin was among the guests so Jimmy was pleased. We all walk home in the evening. Such beautiful weather; quite warm enough for May and it continues during the whole week. Spend Friday and Saturday at Uncle Bobs. Saturday (2nd March) Lizzie Dee's birthday. Aunt Sally and Miss Vallant out driving so we have the house all to ourselves. Bob appears very unexpectedly among us Friday night. He is looking much better; seems happier and well he may. I was mighty glad to see him at home. A letter from home this week; they are all sick. Poor little Maggie Lewis very homesick. I can well sympathize with her for I know the horrors of homesickness. I will send her up by David next week if he goes.
