Aug. 19-25

No church. A letter from Mary Davis and Nannie. Say the dry weather is becoming a serious matter out there. A note from Kate. She wants to make us a visit. Wednesday Sue, John and Co. get home. We are right glad to see them. Bully fell back into his old ways as if he had never been away. Mary Lewis and Daddy go dining at Castalia on Wednesday. Ellen Smith has come home on a visit. Thursday Kate comes. I enjoy being face to face with this dear little woman once more. She has much to tell me of her troubles and trials whilst among the Yankees. She leaves on Saturday. We make arrangements for a correspondence this winter ....
