July 29-Aug. 4

No church. Ma much better. Mary Lewis had a letter from Nannie. She has been very sick with fever but is about again. She says brother Peter and his bride are in her neighborhood so he is really married. Tuesday evening Ellen returned from her visit in town bringing Carrie Minor, Hattie and Nannie Meade with her. They seem to enjoy their visit. I had a letter from Sally, also one from Lizzie Dee. She tells me Uncle Bob has returned home much improved in health. Dr. Jones and Son tarried some days after I left. Sister Mary, Lizzie and some of the children are in the Green Springs neighborhood [with sister Mary's twin sister, Lizzie Watson.]....Friday take breakfast with cousin Lou, also dinner. Have such a pleasant day. Almost like old times ....After tea at cousin George's [George Macon] I walk up to Rugby with Susie and Jimmy. Sister Betty and all are glad to see me. Mr. Brown is away at his mother's. Mr. Folkes is stopping at Rugby for a few days. I like him so much. Enjoy seeing he and Susie together ....
