A good day. Ben & Jim worked on their tobacco land all day. Josie scrubed floors and got dinner. Kate Harvey & Carrie Smith come to see us this evening. I was not at home. Reese Smith carried Grace Brumfield and I to Mr Worshams pond. We fished. Caught a few. Had a pleasant day. Come by Renan. Clack Hubbards baby was sick. Dr Owen was gone to Chatham.

Ben did not like for Henry to go with me. Said he wanted him to work. I am sorry to ever do any thing that makes him mad. An old hen killed one of Josies turkeys. I am very sorry that it happen.

A good day. Clouds about this evening but no rain to wet any thing. Ben replanted tobacco. He went to Renan and got some beef for tomorrows dinner. Josie killed and dressed three chickens, baked two cakes, got dinner, and bathed the children.

I went to Worshams pond to fish. Marvin carried me and Henry & Reese. He went to Altavista and had work done on his teeth worked on. I stoped at Mr Jim Bookers and sit on the porch with Mrs Booker until Marvin come for us.

I have felt all day that I was not doing right but I hope I may be forgiven. I no longer boss things at our house.

Thursday AUGUST 23 A good day. Jim & Ben Hauled wood to the Barn. They are thinking a bout cutting tobacco tomorrow.

Josie milked two cows and churned and got dinner.

Marvin carried Grace & I to Worshams pond. We fished all the morning. Did not catch anything. We had dinner with us and enjoyed it.

I wish I was close to the pond so I could go and not bother no one. I am willing to worke as much as I am able. That is a bout all that I ask them to take me and some times they wont do that. I know that I give them here trouble.
