Aug. 16-23
No church ....On Monday evening cousin Howell comes by with some news for me. Sue has a daughter born Friday night, Aug. 14th. [Note at bottom of page -mistake, Saturday Aug.15th.] Cousin Howell saw Mammy Eliza, Dick and my black Mammy going down to Ashland this morning. It is quite a surprise. [The baby was premature.] I'm glad the event is over, am anxious to hear how Sue is ....Spend Wednesday at Uncle Bob's and have such a charming time. House full of soldiers from the hospital. They are Lizzie Dee's friends. They all seem to be gentlemen and some of them very pleasant. They were from Louisiana and North Carolina. There is also a very agreeable refugee lady from Baltimore, a Miss Gearing .... Lizzie Dee is down this week. She looks badly. I write to Mammy Eliza and Mary Lewis and also had letters from both of them. Mammy Eliza says Sue is very smart and the baby weighed four pounds. What a mite it must be ....Nanny Anderson with us the last of the week. On Friday the 21st, a Fast Day we attended church and heard a good sermon from Mr. Boyden....Bob gets home Saturday night from camp sick with fever.
