Sept. 6-13

At church and hear Mr. Slaughter....[Letters received.] Lizzie tells me Bob is much better. Jimmy is well and has been up to see me. He goes to Lexington this week. Sally and Jabe are still in Lauderdale and are very happy. They say they don't get any letters from me which must be the fault of the mails for I've written. I'm busy with the Scrap Book .... [Sue] tells us the little baby has been very poorly again. I fear she will be very delicate. Dine on Friday at Ridgway and have a pleasant time ....Read a letter (to Lydia) from Missouri of the date of July 27th. It is from her Father and Mother. Tells her of the death of Cousin Laurie Vaughan. Sister Lizzie speaks of brother Peter and brother Will's being in Illinois. I can't understand it. The letter comes through Vicksburg ....
