A clear day. The snow melted very fast this evening. Jim and Ben stripped tobacco. Mr Owen helped them to day.

Josie and I both got the dinner. Josie finished her old quilt that she was pieceing on and made a pillow slip. I went to Marvins a while. Marvin was mending their shoes.

Henry went to school. Had a fight with Sam Owen.

Ben got a letter from Dr Neff this evening. He did not write very encourageing a bout Josies condition. It cast a gloom over them. I am in hopes she may get on better than he expects. I am so sorry for them & cant helpe.

A good day. Jim worked on a plant bed. Ben was in Danville. Solde some tobacco. Missed the train that he aimed to come on but got to come on a car. We was all very glad that he got home. He was not pleased with the sales of his tobacco.

Josie washed a big washing of clothes today.

Carrie and the children come this evening. I was glad that they come. Henry & Edna went to school today.

I got a letter from Ola Jefferson. I was glad to hear from her.

Jim has gone to Marvins to help him burn a plant bed to night.

A good morning. Rain this evening. It was badly needed. The boys here got up some hay and cut wheat. Frances and Gordon and Shirly was here. Earl went to the mill after the rain.

I had a letter from Carrie Smith. She said that she might come for me tomorrow. I want it to rain and I want her to come two. I know I cant have both. I do want to go home. Guess I will have to go with Earl Bennett Sunday. Will be glad to do that.

I do hope that nothing will happen to hinder me from going.
