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.

A bright day. Not a cloud in sight. Jim stripped tobacco. Ben shelled some corn. Josie is very much complaining with her jaw. I know she suffers with it.

This evening Ben & Henry went to the mill. Henry drove the team as far as Mount Airy. Reese carried me to White Fall on Bens car. I did not catch any fish. Ben did not get his grain ground. I went by Marvins this evening. Carrie was looking better than she did yesterday. I hope that Josie & Carrie may be well soon.

Well my birth day has bin a disapointment. I had hoped to catch some fish and I think Josie felt so bad that she freted with me all day. Reese gave me a little sack of candy for my birthday. John & Edwin and Christenia is here. Christenia is sick to night. I am so sorry. I hope to see some more birth days but I may not. I am 75.
