Julia Brumfield Diaries

A good day. We all staid at home. We looked for my brother and family. They did not come. I am sorry. I heard tonight that Mr. Edmons is feeling better. I am glad of that.

Well I dont know any thing to write.

Little Mabel is not so well today. Hope she will soon be well.

A good day. Jim & Ben and Henry worked on the corn land all day.

Josie sewed on Edna a dress. Mabel is not well.

I went to Marvins and Carrie and all the children went to White Falls. We had a good trip. Hellen & Virginia come this morning a few minutes on busines. I caped a few straw berries tonight.

A cloudy day and rained enough for a season. The boys planted tobacco. This evening the children dropped plants. Mabel fretted for Edna. Josie made Franklin a little suit to day.

An agent come here today and is at Marvins tonight. He is enlarging pictures.

We all staid at home to day.

A cloudy day and some rain. Jim & Ben finished planting tobacco today. Josie droped some plants. I did not drop or draw a plant for the first time in years. I am not glad of it. I like to help where I can. I do a lot of what is to be done at the house. Poor little Mabel is a task by her self.

I went to Marvins a few minutes.

We had potatoes for dinner that growed this year.

The boys stayed at home until late this evening then they went to Gretna with Nellie. Brother Letcher and Ernest and Lottie and the children come this morning. I was glad that they come. Denia and Isla & Cordie come to see Lottie this evening. I was glad that they come. Letcher brought me to Tim Bennetts. I left Mabel sick. I am uneasy a bout her.
