May 31-June 6
At church and hear Mr. Meade from....an old sermon. A new cousin to see us today. He is from Louisiana and is named Marks and is Kin through the Meriwethers. He belonged to Taylor's old Brigade [General Richard Taylor's Louisiana's Brigade.] He was disabled by a wound in the wrist and is now unfit for service. He seems a nice little fellow; is quite handsome and talks well.
Mr. Macon and Charlotte to dine with us on Monday. Mr. M. pays me the interest on cousin Tom Meriwether's bond [which was part of the estate of brother Jim Minor and had apparently been given to Louisa for her support.]....wrote to Jabe and Bob. I had a letter from Jabe on Sunday. He is still in N.C.; still hoping to get off and to see me on his way home. Says his work in N.C. will certainly soon be finished but where they will send him then he can't say. I'm getting much better of my cold .... [Letters written and visitors call.]
