Julia Brumfield Diaries

A cloudy day. The men stripped tobacco to day. Josie got dinner and supper. Nellie brough the water.

This evening Ben carried Henry and I to White Falls. I caught 30 fish. Henry caught five. Ben killed two squirrels.

I got three letters to day. One from Effie, John, & Julia Fergerson. I am always so glad to get letters.

I dug the bait to fish with. Edna helped me get them. She is a good help when she will.

A good day. I got breakfast and milked the cows then Ben carried Cordie and I to Long Island. We come on the Virginian R-R to Alberta. The[re] we had to wait for a train until dark then we came to Richmond. Willie & Julia met us at the depot. We come on a street car to Willies house. Effie had a good supper. I am so glad that we got here ok.

A rainy day. We went down town. Come home and eat dinner. Effie locked the doors and could not unlock them so she got a man to come and bring a ladder and climed up on the porch and went in at the window. We have eaten supper and will go down town to night I guess. Hope to be at home this time tomorrow and hope to find them all well. Cordie got her glasses today.
