Nov. 25-Dec. 1
The Bridge is ready for use now. We all feel very thankful that we are no longer at the mercy of the river for
whenever we had a hard rain we were unable to ford the river and very often the ferry was not manageable at
high water and it was truly a serious matter to be so entirely cut off at times from town. Begin my rag carpet.
Wonder if it will ever turn out anything. I shall try to make it. Spend Monday at Shadwell. Charlotte has such a
sweet pretty little baby. It is my first visit there since cousin Peggie [Nelson, Charlotte's mother] has been one
of the family ....
