July 20-26
No church as Uncle Hatter is too tired to drive. A letter from sister Mary saying she looks for us on Friday next. Ma quite sick. Sally and Betty get back on Wednesday and find me in bed. I'm up in the course of the day as cousins Sarah Gilmer, Juliet Minor and Mr. Willie Pegram come by to dine on their way to convocation. We arrive at the sage conclusion that Juliet is one of the odd Minors. A letter from brother Peter, also one from Tom Davis ....[On the] 26th up very early. Saw the sunrise the first time for many months. Say good bye to the good folks and are off for brother Jim's ....To the Journal, I also have to say Farewell, as there is no room for it in the trunk. Expect to have some very interesting matter for it on my return. Till then, adieu.
