25th Con My cousin Mary sold herself out of her home, and now expects me, to take her in and care for her, when I am older than her, and look after her as I would have to do. It is more than I can do to look after B & “BW.” and then to put another old one on Blanche — would be unjust. I dont know when I might collapse on my young wife, so I dont see how I can double up. — I led #26 class, last night again. They seem like mine, as mine #24 don’t meet at all. —

Convention at church and I mounted guard over “B.W” and did my writing she returned in due season and found him sleeping, and me praying, putting on finishing touches for the day. — Sixty years ago, if more than three of aunt Hagars children were caught together away from home, especially at night, their backs were whipped. — Forty five years ago Judge John C. Underwood was US District Court for this district, and the leading spirit in framing the now defunct constitution of Va he died many years ago. Forty one years ago Emily my 1st daughter [. . .] | To make one’s ends meet nicely is the next thing to economy
Wednes “Lay not up for yourselves treasure upon earth” The weather is clear and warm my rest was serene last night, and B. “BW” and u.w. me, are well. — Court again — “BW” loves cold water, which his elder brother didnt 42 years ago. I guess he does now.
Her head deserves some flying missile who buys thread hose and calls ’em “lisle”
Thurs “Behold the fowls of the air: they sow not.” — Clear and warm. Slept well last night. “BW” is happy, has not a single care, neither had I, 70 years ago. B & u.w. me are well I hope she is happy. — Court again — |
