Sept. 2-8

No church. A quiet day. Write to Nannie this week. The children, Met and Ellen start to school on Tuesday to Mr. Jeff Taylor. John Mac taking for a model wise old King Soloman has intruded into the lumber business. Sue thinks he may go into winter quarters either in the Flat woods or perhaps in the Royal State of Fluvanna in which case she may join him for a time at least. Kemp [a dog] disappears very mysteriously. He has not been seen since last Saturday, Sept. lst. We feel troubled about him for thought too old to be of any use yet as a part of the establishment we miss him. He has no doubt gone off and died for he had long been ailing.
