Julia Brumfield Diaries

A clear hot day. No rain. The boys helped Marvin cut tobacco all day. Josie and I washed this morning. Finished in time to get a snack for dinner. Josie made two pies in the least time I ever thought of. We had salmon & canned beef. All could be got ready quick.

I worked on button holes. Josie made Edna a pair of bloomers and picked a few peas.

Edna & Franklin pulled pea vines and fed the cows through the fence & climed the cyckamore tree. They ask me to write a bout as I did not know any thing to write. I did it.

Another hot day. The men folks helped Marvin finish cutting tobacco. Reese carried Henry & Paul and Roy and I to White Falls. I caught several fish. Had a good evening.

Henry Blair eat dinner at Marvins. Carrie said she was glad to have him with them.

Josie ironed the most of the day. I am so sorry that we cant get any help. I am getting olde and cant do very much and dont do what I might. I am sonigh a sleep that I cant hardly write.
