Julia Brumfield Diaries

A rainy day. The land is good and wet the first time in about five months. I hope it will quit raining for this time soon. Jim & Ben stripped tobacco all day. Marvin went to Gretna to meet some one. A Mr Shelton went with him. I know that they had a rough time.

I went to George Blairs. Lottie is there with her two little children & Net with one. They are good looking children.

Ben has gone to bed sick. I hope he may be well soon.

Josie made Edna a dress today.

A cloudy day. Rain tonight. Ben finished stripping tobacco. Mr Booker helped them strip. Marvin Smith and Mr Shelton come here today. Shelton come to look at cow. Did not like her. Bought one from Kate Harvey. I am glad that he did. I think it is good for her. I was very much disapointed that they would not stay for dinner. Josie & I had fixed for them as good as we could under the circum stances. Henry went toschool. Josie & I sewed on quilts this evening. The weather is awful bad so that we have to sit by the fire most of the time.
