Sept. 1-7
At church and hear Mr. Meade....See Dutchie; she talks of visiting us. I'm much interested in a History of the Mexican War [by] Frost . ....[Letters written.]Read this week Dr. [Joseph Holt] Ingraham's Pilar of Fire or Israel In Bondage. It is very fascinating like his other two but in my opinion is not equal to either of them. He allows his imagination a very wide scope .... Sue is poorly in bed for a day or so in consequence we do not see very much of her. A note from little Sis. She is wishing much for me. She sends me Jabe's fair locks for Sue to have done up for her in Richmond. Saturday Rose [Macmurdo] comes for a short visit. Another note from Sis with news from Missouri. The Federals are in Auburn and some of our kin have been badly treated by them. I'm afraid to think of the next news we may have from them. Little Sis has had the teeth taken out. Oh, how glad I am and hope to have her with me next week. Lem Clinchscalis left on Sunday the 8th. He was with us just two weeks and expressed great regret at leaving. I'm glad he was pleased.
