Another rainy Sunday. Tom with us all day. A letter from S[ally] P. Williamson. She gives me an invite to spend Xmas with her. It would be bliss beyond all that the minstrel hath told to me ,to spend this Christmas in Orange. On the 19th,Brother Jim calls early. We settle some business, such as housing the darkeys, etc. Says [his family] are very comfortably fixed in their new home only sister Mary has not room to turn around conveniently. [On the 20th] Sue and I go on the cars to Woodville, where Sally Price meets us with the carriage. Receive a warm welcome from Cousin Mat and Lucy. Some beaux in the evening, Mr.[Charlie] Price, Campe Goodloe and Henry [Lewis].
