A good day. The men folks finished pulling leaves to day. Edwin went squirrel hunting this morning. He killed two squirrels.

Josie got dinner and finished Ednas dress & dressed Ednas doll very nicely.

John went with me fishing the first time and I expect it will be the last time. We came by Jim Thomsons and saw him and all of his family. Jim gave us a nice basket of apples. We caught several little fish.

Doris Brumfield is here tonight. She is visiting Christenia Brumfield.

A cool windy day. Ben & Jim stripped some tobacco this morning. This evening they killed a calf that we called Billie Sunday. We had a wind storm last night and a little rain. Not enough to do any good. We need rain as bad as I ever have seen I think.

Josie has bin bad off all day with her jaws and throat. I do hope she may be better soon. She made Edna a negro doll this evening. I went to Denias this evening. Found them all well. I have not seen Carrie today. Hope she is getting on ok.
