Sept. 27-Oct. 3
At church but have to leave as I'm quite sick. Have cousin George [Macon] to see me get home and get better. Missed Dr. Sparrows sermon which I was sorry for. A visit this week from a cousin of Daddy's from Culpepper, a Mr. Gaines. He is a refugee from his home now for the second time since the war commenced. They have now burnt and carried off everything belonging to him but his land. Poor refugees, they are much to be pittied. Met Mac is up for several days ....Sue's little baby very poorly. I'm enjoying such a nice book, Mrs. Hannah Mores Memoirs. Will speak more at length of them when I get through. Bob spends Saturday night with us. We have a talk that is not altogether charitable.
