A rainy day. We all staid at home. I got dinner. Cooked meat & turnip greens and a chicken & stewed prunes. Josie had a cake baked. Josie is feeling mighty bad today. I said we all staid at home. I forgot Henry went home with Hugh Brumfield. Jim did not come home. Wilson Starkey got stuck in the mud near the house. Ben went & helped him get out. I wrote two letters today. One to Carrie & one to Julia Fergerson. Wish I could see them.

I fixed some on my chicken coops and sewed on my quilt a little. I have wrote Carrie a letter to night. Now it is time that we was in bed.

A good morning. Cloudy and some rain this evening. Josie and Ben and some of the children are very much complaining. Think they have the flue. Ben has bin in bed nearly all day. Henry went to school. Come home and went to the store. He got some fish. Josie and I cleaned them ready for breakfast. Jim worked on his new ground all morning. Plowed this evening. I have done what cooking was done and not much besides. I know I dont do what I might but a bout all that I am able to do. I want to see Carrie and the children so bad.
