Julia Brumfield Diaries

A good day. Jim & Ben went to Long Island and got some beet pulp. Josie got dinner. I planted some potatoes slips. Henry helped me.

This evening Elsie & Hellen came. Elsie brought her baby. Josie kept it while Elsie gathered some cherries. I am sorry that I was not at home.I would of bin if I had knowed they were coming. Mollie Reynolds and I and Henry went after some strawberries. We found some.

I have not seen any of Marvins people to day. I allways miss them.

10 oclock

A good day. It rained a shower at Gretna but not a drop here. We need rain so bad. Nellie caned & preserved some berries for us this morning. She went home this evening. Ben carried her to Gretna. I went with them. Ben bought some ship stuff and beet pulp for the cows. Josie got dinner. She went to Marvins a little while. Mr Woodall left Marvins this evening.

Ben & Jim and Julia & I went to Strait Stone to the show to night. There was a big crowd. It was good of its kind.
