Julia Brumfield Diaries

A good day. Some cloud about but no rain. Jim & Ben and Henry finished going over the tobacco by dinner. Today they hauled rocks & sand to work on the hearth in the dining room. Josie ironed today. I done something all the morning. This evening Reese carried Edna and I to Whitefalls to fish. I caught several. Edna and Reese staid at the car most of the time.

Josie put up six quarts of tomatoes. Mrs Car peeled the tomatoes. That was a big help.

A clear morning. Cloudy all the evening and raining tonight. Very warm for the time of year. Ben hauled in leaves for bedding the horses. Jim helped. Nellie kept house, got dinner and kept Mabel. Mabel lives Nellie and Jim all she knows how. Irvin Harvey come and got me and brought me home. Kate Harvey is sick. She is not in bed but I am a fraid she will have to be. Certainly hope not. The children went to school. Come home through the rain. Ben painted some this evening. Hope he may finish soon. Edna got a letter today.
