Julia Brumfield Diaries

A good day. Ben was at Renan all day judge of electon. Jim went and voted. Irvin come for me. I went and voted. Then went to see Kate. She is very feeble yet. I hope she may get well. I met Mr. [Duepney?] for the first time. He is a nice looking man. Nellie got dinner for the crowd that was here. 21 of us. Edna begged Nellie to make batter bread for supper. It was very nice. Ben got home for supper. [Clement?] was ahead at Renan.

A good hot day. The men watered the plant beds and watered and planted a little tobacco. Oh we need rain so bad. Henry has gone to Mr.Emersons tonight. I went with the children to the curant bushes late this evening. Edna got a letter from Aunt Effie. Sent four dresses of Julias that she had out grown. I have wanted to go to Gretna all the evening. In fact all the week but could not get off.
