Monday July 11, 1921

A good day. No rain yet to
do any good. The boys worked
in the tobacco some this
morning. Ben finished covering
the barn shetter this evening.
Jim & Ben & Henry got up the
potatoes this evening. Josie
got dinner and made Julia
a dress.

I got up soon this morning
and made a fire & brough a
bucket of water. Washed
last nights dishes then got the
breakfast before any one else
come. I then milked the cow.
Made a fire at the wash house
and washed until twelve.

Eat dinner and churned
then went to Marvins. Reese
carried his mother & all the
children. The river was so mudy
that we did not catch anything any
acount.
