Julia Brumfield Diaries

A good day. Ben went to Eanes's to finish the job of tining his house. Come home at twelve. Jim plowed all the morning. This evening they cut a log to carry to the saw mill. To night Mr Fretwell is here to spend the night. Josie sowed some. She has bin complaining of the tooth ache some today. The children went to school to day. I went to Marvins a little while.

Carrie was very much complaining.

This written Thursday morning at five oclock.

A rainy morning and rained a gain this evening. Jim stripped some tobacco today. Josie has had the tooth ache all day. She made her three aprons this evening. The children went to school.

Ben and I went to Gretna this evening. We went for things that we had to have to live on. We had a good trip. It rained while we were at Gretna. We went to see John a few minutes. He was working on his house. I think it will be very nice when he gets it complete.
