July 24-30
No church. Might say with Mrs. Browning, "A week which perished silently," so little of incident was there in it. A good rain Sunday night (too late I fear to help the corn) ....The baby better. Old [General Jubal] Early has gone into Maryland again. [Louisa is probably referring to Early's Washington Raid, July 2 thru 13.] This time it is said to fight. Hope he may get as far north as Pennsylvania. I'm rather conscientious about any depradations committed South of Pennsylvania. A letter from Sally. Jabe has been ordered to Atlanta. She is still at Shelby. She thinks Jabe will return when the battles are over. Nannie and I have some reading together. No more at present-Yawns etc.
