The Montgomery White Sulphur Springs resort register includes the names of the resort's guests, their place of residence and notes on their meals, rooms and porterage. While the resort played host to guests from all areas of the United States--and a few from foreign countries--a number of guests were local residents. Each alternate register page features an advertisement for either the Hexall Mills or the Southern Fertilizing Company, both of Richmond, Virginia. The register's entries commence on June 30, 1886 and end on July 26, 1890.

The topic of the resource

Description
An account of the resource
This collection consists of a broadside announcing the impending sale of a home and 98 acres of land in the Forest Magisterial District of Bedford County, Virginia. The sale appears to have resulted from a defaulted loan made to Nelson R. and Eliza Helen Wilson by Henry M. Sackett and Douglas A. Robertson, trustees. The broadside mentions that Sackett is deceased and Robertson, the surviving trustee, is selling the property through Walker, Mosby & Calvert, auctioneers. On the reverse side is a typescript agreement for sale of the property, signed both by Robertson and the purchaser, W. H. Slaughter.

do break the reel so often. The prince was very<br>
good looking. I couldn?t help thinking of<br>
you. I like your black hair its so nice<br>
and crisp with just a little bit of curl<br>
and blue eyes. What makes you have<br>
dimples and be so altogether good looking<br>

sent a beautiful hand embroidered handkerchief.<br>
Its so pretty I don?t know when I?ll ever use it. Went<br>
up in Stamps room to lie down as dad sleeps every<br>

there was lots of snow on the ground but I enjoyed<br>
it all the same. Then he came up before C. E. [Christian Endeavor]<br>

Monday<br>
I surely have had a good time to-day.<br>
This morning Alice, Virginia and I took some<br>
pictures and this afternoon we went over on<br>
the campus and had the grandest time coast-<br>
ing ? its the first time I?ve been for about three years.<br>
We went down flat on the sleds and I expect<br>
all the folks would have been shocked if<br>
they could have seen us. Then after supper<br>
Miss Alsop + Miss Logan went with Charles and<br>
I on the depot hill. Miss Walker came too. After<br>
we finished Miss Alsop had us down to Miss<br>
[Townlys?] and we had cocoa and cake.<br>
It looks like I?m not ever going back to<br>
school. I just live from one week to a-<br>
nother expecting to be gone any time and<br>
still Im here. I?m getting along very well<br>
tho? so I don?t worry about going back. Id<br>
most certainly like to see you but dont look<br>
like I?d have the chance. Good-night boy.</td><td>7<br>

We intended to go coasting again to-day but the<br>
snow was too much worn off. Last night Miss<br>
Alsop asked us to come over to her house after<br>
supper but as there was a sick man across from<br>
her room we went to Miss Logan?s. While Misses<br>
Walker + Logan went up street with a train nurse<br>
Miss Alsop and I got the things ready and presently<br>
Charles came. We made fudge and cocoa and<br>
had besides olives, cheese crackers + cake. It surely<br>
was a lot of fun. They have the dearest tea-set I<br>
nearly ever saw and if I ever have enough<br>
money I am surely going to get me one. We did<br>
not have any butter for the candy and if you<br>
hadn?t known it one would never have detected<br>
the butterine. Miss Logan has her spring hat<br>
allready. Doesn?t it seem foolish to be wearing one<br>
with snow and ice on the ground? I<br>
don?t suppose you ever notice tho? about such things<br>
Boys generally don?t. Good-night boy.</td></tr></table>

Monday<br />
I surely have had a good time to-day.<br />
This morning Alice, Virginia and I took some<br />
pictures and this afternoon we went over on<br />
the campus and had the grandest time coast-<br />
ing ? its the first time I?ve been for about three years.<br />
We went down flat on the sleds and I expect<br />
all the folks would have been shocked if<br />
they could have seen us. Then after supper<br />
Miss Alsop + Miss Logan went with Charles and<br />
I on the depot hill. Miss Walker came too. After<br />
we finished Miss Alsop had us down to Miss<br />
[Townlys?] and we had cocoa and cake.<br />
It looks like I?m not ever going back to<br />
school. I just live from one week to a-<br />
nother expecting to be gone any time and<br />
still Im here. I?m getting along very well<br />
tho? so I don?t worry about going back. Id<br />
most certainly like to see you but dont look<br />
like I?d have the chance. Good-night boy.</td><td>7<br />

Wednesday<br>
Congratulations boy. You actually did manage<br>
to get down and see me. I came down in<br>
mothers room to get my tam o?shanter to<br>
show to Miss Alsop and some one spoke to<br>
me and I couldn?t imagine who it was<br>
until you came up and I saw you.<br>
You keep on saying that you come down<br>
here and never can find anyone but<br>
the trouble is you never look. Just glance<br>
in and if theres anyone there but me you<br>
immediately say you didn?t like to butt in.<br>
You just make me tired. If you wanted<br>
to come badly enough you?d find a way.<br>
I used to think you were one of these innocent<br>
sort and wouldn?t think of flirting but I<br>
just think you?re like all the rest except<br>
that you can get by with it better acting so<br>
differently. I wish I would understand you<br>
but nothing doing. Good-night boy.</td><td>9<br>
Thursday<br>
Actually finished Bush?s sweater and he came<br>
down to get it. He was just like a child with a<br>
new toy. I?m so very glad he liked it. We went down<br>
street and I wore the tam o?shanter mother fixed.<br>
It was too big so we took some out. Got a box of<br>
candy and before he left he begged so for my<br>
moonstone ring I let him have it. We had a<br>
very scrumptious time and I enjoyed him<br>
lots. Bobbie also came to see about the party<br>
Saturday night but as there is to be a game<br>
then we can?t do it. Bush is going to take me<br>
to the game. It surely is a hard matter<br>
to get a party or anything in this place.<br>
Something is always going on to prevent<br>
and every time I have one I vow it will be<br>
the last one. I wish you ask me to go<br>
to a game with you. You are certainly<br>
a peculiar sort of person but I love you<br>
all the same. Good-night.</td></tr></table>

Friday<br>
Went down to the library this afternoon and<br>
wore my new tam. Its dark green and Alice<br>
and Helen say very becoming. Alice insisted that<br>
she had to hurry back so we came on and went<br>
in Planks. Then Whitsett and some other boys<br>
came up and there she stuck. I went on and<br>
had gotten home before she?d started good. Shes<br>
a funny sort of girl and you?d think the most<br>
imposed on and hard-worked in the world if<br>
you didn?t know her. Someway I don?t feel easy<br>
and natural when that society bunch are a-<br>
round like I do with you all. I think you?re<br>
an unusually nice clean bunch of boys. It surely<br>
feels funny not having anything to do since I?ve<br>
finished the sweater and mother the tam.<br>
And still I?m here. No school in view yet<br>
Lyda seems mighty anxious to start but not me.<br>
I?ll go when the time comes but no hurrying.<br>
Good-night boy, dear.</td><td>11<br>
Saturday<br>
I did such a pretty stunt to-day. Dressed all up<br>
in my brown suit and furs and went down the<br>
street. My shoe hurt a little but I thought it would<br>
soon stop. Stopped by Mrs. Newman?s and took my shoe<br>
off pulling all the skin off a blister and it surely is<br>
sore. Stamp had three boys up here, Meriweather<br>
Woods + Oglesby and they made candy. Seem very<br>
nice particularly the latter. Then Bush came up<br>
and took me to the game. I thought he?d never<br>
come. Hes such a nice nice boy and we talked<br>
about you. He said if you loved me he thought<br>
you would tell me or implied it. Naturally he doesn?t<br>
think you do and I ?spect he isn?t far from<br>
right. The game was not anything out of the<br>
ordinary. Didn?t see you. Alice actually was<br>
with some one besides Charlie. I don?t see<br>
what she sees in Lt. Robinson. We got the<br>
sitting room first but Stamp came and sat<br>
herself down so we just took the steps. Good-night.</td></tr></table>

Sunday<br>
I didn?t notice you when I first came into church<br>
and of course when I did I couldn?t keep you out<br>
of my mind. You?re a dreadful nusiance but a nice one<br>
Bill Clift told mother you said you were<br>
coming to C. E. You told me you weren?t and<br>
didn?t. Froggie led very well. He makes a good<br>
prayer. I got up and told them that if they didn?t<br>
do something quickly there wouldn?t be much of a<br>
C. E. We had such a fine one last year but all<br>
the girls were here then. I was suprised when he<br>
asked me after church to do that thing for tonight. He<br>
started telling me something but I didn?t fool with him<br>
When he apologizes I?ll think of it. It was nice of you<br>
and Charlie to come home with me and I?m glad<br>
you enjoyed the candy if you wouldn?t come to C. E.<br>
Sorry Charlie couldn?t get me over the phone. I?ve never<br>
been anywhere with him. Course you made out<br>
like you had tried too but I have my doubts. I do<br>
wish we weren?t in a nasty hotel where no one<br>
answers the phone and you all never find me.<br>
Such a grand day for a walk but my foot was too<br>
sore so I read instead. Youre a funny boy. Good-night.<br>
Bidgie has a daughter.</td><td>13<br>
Monday<br>
Boy dear what makes me want you all<br>
the time. I don?t believe an hour of the day goes<br>
by that I don?t think of you. My foot is still sore<br>
so I can?t walk around too much and it has<br>
been so beautiful to-day. This afternoon I went<br>
to the game with Helen and saw all the others<br>
but you. And to-night when I wanted you so you<br>
didn?t come. I love you so boy you must love me<br>
a little. I say you shouldn?t have made me<br>
love you or made me think you loved me<br>
but I suppose if any other boy had done the same<br>
things I would have said he was just kid-<br>
ding and fooling like all boys. Its only that I<br>
love you so and that you?re different from<br>
most boys I?ve met. I had a letter from Hamp<br>
to-day. I wonder how he will turn out. And<br>
how will you turn out young sir. Negative<br>
or affirmative? One month from to-day I?ll be<br>
twenty. Think of it. Good night dear heart.</td></tr></table>

Tuesday 14. 1919.<br>
Boy dear I do love you no matter if I do try to think I<br>
don?t. I had to see you so I called you up to come<br>
down tomorrow night so I could see about the basket-<br>
ball game + the candy pull. They will come along<br>
to-gether. And you?ll never know that it was mostly to<br>
see you. How your voice changed when you knew<br>
it was me over the phone. Like you were so glad. Were<br>
you? I do hope you will take me to one of the games.<br>
And I went in the drug store just to see you too.<br>
Foolish and crazy but you don?t know so what<br>
difference does it make? Alice and I went down street<br>
this afternoon and up on the campus. Afterwards<br>
she met Wm. Matthews and after he left and said<br>
for us to go in Plank?s and wait for him she said<br>
her mother wouldn?t let her go but once. But when<br>
he stayed in the Barber Shop and I told her I was<br>
going on with Helen She came too. Funny idea.<br>
I feel sorry for Bidgie. She just lies and doesn?t<br>
take any notice of anyone. I hope she and the dear<br>
little baby live. Miss Betty Johnson came to see us<br>
this afternoon. She is so sweet and dear. Good<br>
night and please love me a little boy.</td><td>Wednesday 15. 1919.<br>
Boy dear you make me love you so. I want to see you<br>
and when you come its worse than ever. You said you<br>
tried five times to get me Saturday and yet you were<br>
down here to-night and didn?t ask me to go to a one with<br>
you. Its just like me to have three persons want me to go<br>
to a game with them one time and none the other. So I did<br>
give you one of my pictures. They came this morning and I<br>
think they?re very good. I don?t see why I love you so<br>
very much. It would be better if I went to Childress where<br>
I don?t have so much time to think and know I cant<br>
see you. How can I ever find out about anything the way<br>
you do. You absolutely won?t say anything and I can?t<br>
manipulate you so you will. I got a white sweater<br>
and it surely is a beauty but high $13.75. You nearly<br>
got me to-night when you asked about my ring that<br>
Bush has but I got off. Did you really want that<br>
picture and do you love me or just like me or what.<br>
You?re so peculiar. William Matthews is getting to<br>
be a regular mess since he came from the Army. So<br>
perfectly foolish and [squshy?]. Good-night and please<br>
ask me to go to one of the games. You?re such a<br>

Thursday 16, 1918 [1919]<br>
Goodness but a lot has happened to-day. First even<br>
before I got up Miss Alsop called me up to come<br>
down to the Extension Division and work. Then at<br>
dinner I talked so long over the telephone to you<br>
and Charlie. He says like Fred that you have a<br>
girl in Richmond and that Bush likes me and<br>
I?d better stick to him. He also mentioned the<br>
ring. After work I came to the drug-store<br>
and got something to drink with Mrs. F. and<br>
then I saw you and Fred. After supper I had<br>
Bush to come and get his picture. Besides I got<br>
a most gorgeous box of candy from Charlie Miller<br>
unlike any I?ve ever had. After he left we got ready<br>
to go to the game and I met you down street<br>
Had you really meant to run away as you<br>
said I would say? You wouldn?t go to the game. <br>
After that Frank G. brought us home and out<br>
the road a piece in the car. I don?t like<br>
the new stenographer much. Thank God for<br>
work. It keeps me from thinking and it gives<br>
me something to do. Good-night boy.</td><td>Friday 17 1918 [1919]<br>
Its funny that you and Fred should both like the<br>
same picture isn?t it. He insisted that I give him one<br>
this afternoon but I didn?t. I met him after I left you<br>
and he came home with me and got some<br>
candy. I didn?t know you waited at the Mess Hall.<br>
I?m glad you really had a good excuse. Stamp said<br>
thought they were going to have a hop to-morrow<br>
afternoon so I called up Charlie Hutchings to see<br>
if you all would rather go there than here. We de-<br>
cided to do a little of both. I like Fred so much.<br>
He surely is funny the way he talks about his<br>
girl. He is going to have her up at Mid-<br>
winters. I don?t suppose I?ll have a date so<br>
its a very good thing I won?t be here. I<br>
told him he just must come and he said<br>
he would. That is to-morrow. Being a rat<br>
is hard lives isn?t it. Its a blessing I didn?t<br>
know you when you were a rat or I?d never<br>
have even gotten a glimpse of you. My oh<br>
but I wish I could understand you at all<br>
but I just naturally can?t. Funny people in<br>
this funny world. Good-night</td></tr></table>

Thursday 16, 1918 [1919]<br />
Goodness but a lot has happened to-day. First even<br />
before I got up Miss Alsop called me up to come<br />
down to the Extension Division and work. Then at<br />
dinner I talked so long over the telephone to you<br />
and Charlie. He says like Fred that you have a<br />
girl in Richmond and that Bush likes me and<br />
I?d better stick to him. He also mentioned the<br />
ring. After work I came to the drug-store<br />
and got something to drink with Mrs. F. and<br />
then I saw you and Fred. After supper I had<br />
Bush to come and get his picture. Besides I got<br />
a most gorgeous box of candy from Charlie Miller<br />
unlike any I?ve ever had. After he left we got ready<br />
to go to the game and I met you down street<br />
Had you really meant to run away as you<br />
said I would say? You wouldn?t go to the game. <br />
After that Frank G. brought us home and out<br />
the road a piece in the car. I don?t like<br />
the new stenographer much. Thank God for<br />
work. It keeps me from thinking and it gives<br />
me something to do. Good-night boy.</td><td>Friday 17 1918 [1919]<br />
Its funny that you and Fred should both like the<br />
same picture isn?t it. He insisted that I give him one<br />
this afternoon but I didn?t. I met him after I left you<br />
and he came home with me and got some<br />
candy. I didn?t know you waited at the Mess Hall.<br />
I?m glad you really had a good excuse. Stamp said<br />
thought they were going to have a hop to-morrow<br />
afternoon so I called up Charlie Hutchings to see<br />
if you all would rather go there than here. We de-<br />
cided to do a little of both. I like Fred so much.<br />
He surely is funny the way he talks about his<br />
girl. He is going to have her up at Mid-<br />
winters. I don?t suppose I?ll have a date so<br />
its a very good thing I won?t be here. I<br />
told him he just must come and he said<br />
he would. That is to-morrow. Being a rat<br />

know you when you were a rat or I?d never<br />
have even gotten a glimpse of you. My oh<br />
but I wish I could understand you at all<br />

Saturday 18.<br>
This has surely been a busy day. First I worked<br>
until 12:30. Then came home, dressed, ate dinner<br>
and saw about a Victrola and some records. Alice<br>
wouldn?t come. It was funny how things turned out.<br>
When I found out that there was to be a hop I asked<br>
Charlie which they would rather do and he said a<br>
little of both but when they found the Roanoke<br>
girls didn?t come they sent three boys to try and get<br>
my crowd down since there weren?t any girls there<br>
but Alice + Liz. But our boys didn?t want too<br>
so we stayed and I did enjoy it. I felt so badly<br>
though when both Bush + Charlie asked Va [F.?] to<br>
go to the game and no one asked me just after<br>
I?d had you all up here. Anyway mother and I<br>
went and it was the best game I think I?ve ever<br>
seen. Between Roanoke C + V. P. I. 22-18, but until<br>
a little before the game was over they were a-<br>
head. You, Charlie, Bush, Fred, Ralph, William, Harry,<br>
Bobbie, Billie, Jimmie, Emily, Dick, Stamp, Helen +<br>
I were there beside William Matthews. Charles<br>
I don?t feel any too angelic after what has happened<br>
either but good-night. I?m glad you like my dress.</td><td>Sunday 19th<br>
You do seem to appear quite frequently lately.<br>
To-day after church I took a walk with Mrs.<br>
Faulkner and met you and Charlie + Billie.<br>
We had a dandy sermon this morning but<br>
you went to the Christian Church instead.<br>
This afternoon we did have a good time didn?t<br>
we. I was so glad you and Fred + Dwight<br>
came along. At first I didn?t recognize your<br>
brother and had to ask mother who he<br>
was. I hope the pictures Fred took turn<br>
out alright. You seem to like Miss Rowan<br>
a lot. I like her lots better than I did at<br>
first. Theres a new stenographer in to-night.<br>
So you don?t like the way Va. F. dances any-<br>
more. It surprised me a little to hear you<br>
say it cause you generally say absolutely<br>
nothing about any girl unless I ask you.<br>
You can be so nice and talk when<br>
you want to but you just don?t for some<br>
reason I can?t explain. Good-night and<br>
everything.</td></tr></table>

Monday Jan 20 1919<br>
Boy I surely do feel down and out to-night. Here I was all<br>
settled at the Extension and Mrs. Lucas says school<br>
will take up soon but not exactly when and I?m<br>
supposed to lead C. E. Sunday and theres a party<br>
Friday and a game Saturday. I do want to stay home<br>
but still I?m generally upset when I am. It would make<br>
me feel badly in spite of all I say if no one asked<br>
me to the Mid-winters after I?ve been so nice to all<br>
the boys. Oh, I do wish I knew what to do but per-<br>
haps I couldn?t get work at the Extension for<br>
any length of time. I gave your good-luck piece<br>
to Charlie and hope he gave it to you. I just<br>
couldn?t keep it until you came after it ?cause<br>
I was afraid you would miss it and be want-<br>
ing it. Douglas Fairbanks surely was good. It<br>
at least made me laugh to see him. I just<br>
feel all out of sorts and messed up generally<br>
If things wouldn?t be so mixed up and we get<br>
so unsettled over them. had a letter from Bat<br>
and he don?t know whether he can come by or<br>
not. I don?t much care ?cept I?d like to see [?]<br>
he?d do now. Good-night boy.</td><td>Tuesday Jan 21. 1918 [1919]<br>
Boy dear I do believe you all deserted me. I some-<br>
times think its true that the folks who do least for the<br>
boys have a better time. I don?t know whether its just thought<br>
lessness or not. I believe you are all my friends but you<br>
surely act curiously. Bush had Virginia at the game<br>
to-night. He has my ring, my picture and a sweater I<br>
made him. Is it because he knows I love you or<br>
because hes liking her. And for two games hes taken her<br>
and hasn?t been near me since the little dance. Well<br>
I?m going back to Childress where I can?t see any of<br>
you and maybe it won?t worry me. Perhaps I?m<br>
selfish but it does seem funny. Working at the Ex-<br>
tension is rather hard and it always gives<br>
me a headache. To-day when I had some things<br>
all fixed Miss Agnew had gotten them wrong<br>
and I had to do them all over. I was all fidgety<br>
by the time I started for home. My what a<br>
game to-night. At first I thought we?d have<br>
a very good one but it sure ended in a<br>
walk-over 55-14 in our favor. This is a<br>
funny world but I reckon things will all come<br>
right in the end. Good-night boy. I saw you tonight</td></tr></table>

Fri. Jan 24. 1919<br>
I havent been feeling very extra to-day. Made candy<br>
nearly all morning for the C. E. party to-night.<br>
During dinner Johnnie came up. I really think<br>
he likes me a lot but we managed to dance around<br>
the brier bush without getting stuck. He said<br>
he didn?t understand me like he did most girls.<br>
Also that once I said something that made him<br>
believe a certain thing but he didn?t think so any<br>
more. Rather vague. I sent him off about four<br>
o?clock, as I wanted to go to the movies. He came up<br>
to tell me good-bye to-night. The movies were just<br>
fine. Virginia Faulkner thinks this ring is Bushs<br>
and I?m not going to undeceive her. Went to the<br>
party with Mr. McCann. Bobbie C. also thought it<br>
was B?s and even bet me. We got the prize too<br>
Froggie makes me sick. Bush is going to take<br>
Va. to the game again to-morrow and I don?t<br>
understand it at all boy. It surely does keep me<br>
upset all these peculiar doings. Miss Cheney is<br>
rather peculiar. I had quite a good time at the<br>
party altho I didn?t help fix like I used to. Good-night.</td><td>Sat. Jan 25, 1919<br>
After all the game troubles boy just think there wasn?t<br>
any. Mother and I went down street to-night and<br>
ran right smack into Va. + Bush. They didn?t<br>
condescend to speak. This is one funny mix-up.<br>
I went to Helens this morning and told her<br>
the whole mess. She thinks you are he is jealous of you<br>
but I have my doubts. If he just didn?t have my ring<br>
and I hadn?t given him that sweater and picture.<br>
She says its the worst mess shes ever heard of.<br>
To-night Merriweather, Oglesby, [Mutt?] Johnson +<br>
Sam McConkey came down and we had a dandy<br>
time dancing. I like them all. Johnson is so<br>
much nicer than I thought he?d be and I<br>
like to hear him talk. Oglesby insisted on one<br>
of my pictures but nothing doing. I would like<br>
to see the James + Scoggins twins. They most<br>
talked themselves to death on the subject. They<br>
asked me if I were dancing and I said no.<br>
Hard luck. I can?t dance with Johnson for<br>
the life of me but Oglesby?s fine. Good-night<br>

Sunday Jan 26, 1919<br>
Went to church to-day and got so sick I had to<br>
leave. It was too hot I think. After dinner it was<br>
so gorgeous I just had to go walking so I called<br>
you up. When we at last started there were ten of<br>
us. Even Va. + Bush came along. I was rather sup-<br>
rised at Jimmie and Walter Pierce asking to go. I<br>
started out with you but coming back got with<br>
Bush and we talked things out. I told him how I<br>
felt about everything and he thought I was right<br>

It seems he was a little struck on Va but is<br>
over it now and doesn?t quite like the way things<br>

love with anyone. I had your [ring?] for a little. Good-night</td><td>Monday Jan 27 1918 [1919]<br>
Do I love you or do I not? Some question and I<br>
can?t quite decide. Florence didn?t come this morn-<br>

some. Bush was supposed to call me up and<br>
didn?t. Vowed he saw me down the street, this<br>
afternoon, and I didn?t look like I was going a-<br>
way so he didn?t call. Foolish idea. Called up<br>
Mr. Lucas and he said do what I thought<br>
best and as Lyda can?t start very well un-<br>

makes me tired not having a date for the<br>

do anything and I surely won?t ask the boys to<br>

very nice and quite good-looking. Its a pity<br>

Sunday Jan 26, 1919<br />
Went to church to-day and got so sick I had to<br />
leave. It was too hot I think. After dinner it was<br />
so gorgeous I just had to go walking so I called<br />
you up. When we at last started there were ten of<br />
us. Even Va. + Bush came along. I was rather sup-<br />
rised at Jimmie and Walter Pierce asking to go. I<br />
started out with you but coming back got with<br />
Bush and we talked things out. I told him how I<br />
felt about everything and he thought I was right<br />
and it was dreadful the way all of you had been<br />
treating me. He came too for C. E. and of all things<br />
you were there to hear me lead. Then came<br />

Tuesday Jan. 28 1918. [1919]<br>
I surely have been sick to-day. I slept nearly all<br>
afternoon and then went down street with<br>
mamma but I haven?t got one bit of strength<br>
Grannie and Grandma are both sick. They<br>
are getting so old now that they may go just<br>
any time We had another letter from Argyle<br>
and she expects to either go into Germany or<br>
sail for home. If she does the latter she will be<br>
here about the middle of February. Won?t that be<br>
grand though? Also got a picture from Pat<br>
Its much better looking than he is and I?m<br>
glad to have it. I felt so badly I went to bed<br>
about 8 o?clock and read ?Uncle Remus? I haven?t<br>
done that for ages but I still enjoy them.<br>
I surely do wish I could write and maybe<br>
some day I can. Saw Bush this afternoon<br>
He surely is a long drawn out person. ?Bush?<br>
is surely a funny name for anyone but I<br>
don?t believe I?d ever get used to calling him<br>
Billie like his uncle does. I surely feel [?]<br>
boy so good-night.</td><td>Wednesday Jan. 29. 1918 [1919]<br>
This is some world. One thing after another. First<br>
dizzy and the headache and now that I?m a<br>
bout recovered from that rheumatism. At last<br>
I?ve gotten Mary?s handkerchief done and will<br>
send it to-morrow. This afternoon Helen, Emily<br>
and I went to see the game between V. P. I. + Tus-<br>
culum. From the size of their team I thought<br>
we?d have a right tough tustle but beat them<br>
71-16. Just a complete walk-over. You surely looked<br>
mad about something. Just like in my locket. Dwight<br>
can sit just like you and have the house fall<br>
down without changing his expression. Bush<br>
had Virginia to the game again but I already<br>
knew that for he told me about it Sunday night.<br>
Oh gee but I wish I had a date for the<br>
dances. Most everyone else has but me.<br>
Well I can?t help it so I needn?t worry.<br>
Perhaps things will turn out all right in<br>
the end like they usually do. Do I still love<br>
you as much as I used to? My but I want<br>
you only you never came and soon<br>
I?ll be gone away. Good-night boy dear.</td></tr></table>

Thursday Jan. 30. 1919<br>
I?m glad I?ve seen you once again boy dear before I<br>
leave. John T. Fulwiler came in the sitting-room and I<br>
just can?t stand him so I left and then you whistled<br>
at me and came over. You say you don?t reckon you<br>
love the Richmond girl any more than you do any<br>
other and that you will try and see me again be-<br>
fore I leave. Is any of it true or are you only fooling<br>
me? I told you about the dances too when you<br>
wanted to know why I wasn?t going to be here<br>
I do hope you don?t think I?m trying to make<br>
you ask me for I?m not and now if you<br>
should I don?t know what I?d do. I?m surely<br>
having a time. Now my neck is so sore<br>
I can hardly move it. I wonder who told<br>
you that Bill Clift had been up here. You?re<br>
such a dear sweet laddie and I love you so.<br>
You don?t seem to like Dwight getting letters<br>
and you getting none from home but what<br>
more can you expect when you don?t write<br>
your self. I do love you so boy dear but now<br>
good-night.</td><td>Friday Jan 31, 1918 [1919]<br>
Boy dear I do so want to go to the dance and<br>
this afternoon I read part of a letter Fred had<br>
from his girl and she said she wanted to see<br>
me and had something to tell me and I surely<br>
want to see her but how can I. I?m awfully troubled<br>
about this dance but maybe it would be better<br>
if I didn?t go. Who knows what will come about. I?m<br>
afraid I think too much about the non-esential<br>
side of life. Fred insists that I stay but nothing<br>
doing. Saw you this afternoon too. Fred and I ran<br>
into you as we came out of the street into Plank?s.<br>
Oh I love you so much. Met Bush down street<br>
after supper and he came back and stayed<br>
until 9:45. Funny sort of fellow. He likes to<br>
talk about himself but so do most fres. It sure<br>
looks like I?m not ever going to get well but<br>
I hope to heavens I do before I have to<br>
leave here. The pictures we took Sunday<br>
came to-day and they are very good.<br>
I wish I had a good one of you. but I?ll<br>
get one some day. Good-night dearest boy.</td></tr></table>

Boy dear I love you so very very much. When you<br>
were standing by Stamp to-day I almost hated her<br>
because you were near her instead of me and when<br>
she played ?The Sunshine of Your Smile? I just had<br>
to get up and leave. All of you came this afternoon<br>
instead of to-night. First Charlie + Bush. Then Charlie<br>
came again and brought you with him. When<br>
we went to the station with the girls you said<br>
you had been thinking a lot but it didn?t do<br>
any good, about what we had been talking about<br>
I didn?t want you to feel that you had to do any<br>
thing. I just told you because you asked me. Then<br>
Alice said you told Charlie that you were going<br>
to dance and had a girl and you told me you<br>
couldn?t. Then you said good-bye like you<br>
wouldn?t see me again and still said you<br>
had something to tell me. I wonder how it<br>
will all come out. I bet if I am asked I?ll be<br>
sick or something. Why can?t you care a<br>
little. You know I love you so or do you? I<br>
hope not since you don?t care. Charlie is one<br>

Oh boy I?ve nearly messed everything up now but<br>
after dinner Charlie came up and I talked it<br>
all over with him. He thought I did right and<br>
said not to pay any attention to you or<br>
write you that you acted like such a dunce.<br>
So you really had intended asking me to the<br>
dances until after I said what I did and now<br>
of course you couldn?t and you?d been trying to<br>
get me a date and you wanted to get things<br>
straight besides seeing and hearing lots of things<br>
other folks dont think you do and before Charlie<br>
came I cried because you always make me<br>
feel like I?m in the wrong. I was surely sup-<br>
rised to find that Hamp hadn?t left when<br>
I got here. After supper he came up and<br>
stayed until nearly ten o?clock. We were all<br>
in Mrs. Palmers room having such a time<br>
that Lyda caught on fire and yelled and<br>
we never even heard her. Hes a nice<br>
boy. Somehow when I get over here all my<br>
troubles seem to go slipping away. Ralph<br>
and Lucille were both here. Good-night. </td><td>Feb. 3. Mon. 1919.<br>
Hamp came up to school a little after eleven<br>
this morning and I let the kids out until one.<br>
Its just like the beginning of school nearly<br>
we?ve been away so long. We persuaded Howard<br>
to take us to Christiansburg with him + Hamp.<br>
I sat on Hamps lap and Lida on the little back<br>
seat. I?m not sure whether I should have done<br>
it or not. Well he kissed me good-bye. I told<br>
him not to but he did. I felt rather don?t [?]<br>
any way and it was when I couldn?t make a<br>
fuss. But I didn?t kiss him and it was over<br>
in a hurry. I believe I met nearly every one in<br>
creation going over. It was awfully cold coming<br>
back in the wind. I know I?ll miss him<br>
just lots for hes just about the only boy<br>
over here that I know. It feels real<br>
nice to get back over here after we?ve<br>
been away so long. I expect we?ll have<br>
a time getting things settled. Good-night dear.</td></tr></table>

Feb 4 1919.<br>
Oh boy dear I would so love to see you. I was glad<br>
to get back here and have something to do. But<br>
now that I?ve seen you for so long its harder<br>
than it was before not to see you and the<br>
worst part is you don?t care and I some-<br>
times think you never will. Pat wrote to<br>
say he?d be down Saturday + Sunday and<br>
wanted a date both nights but of course I can?t<br>
tell whether I can go home or not. Frank is<br>
such a funny child. I asked him why people<br>
went to Switzerland and he said to see<br>
the ?Evening Sun.? I miss Hamp right much.<br>
I do wish Mrs. Rosa Lucas would keep her<br>
fingers out of my school. She?s always making<br>
trouble and telling me about things. Actually<br>
wanted me to start Nannie in the first<br>
part of the Sixth Grade in the middle of<br>
the year. Had a spelling match to-day<br>
and the kids enjoyed it a lot. Lois be-<br>

Oh boy dear I would so love to see you. I was glad<br />
to get back here and have something to do. But<br />
now that I?ve seen you for so long its harder<br />
than it was before not to see you and the<br />
worst part is you don?t care and I some-<br />
times think you never will. Pat wrote to<br />
say he?d be down Saturday + Sunday and<br />
wanted a date both nights but of course I can?t<br />
tell whether I can go home or not. Frank is<br />
such a funny child. I asked him why people<br />
went to Switzerland and he said to see<br />
the ?Evening Sun.? I miss Hamp right much.<br />
I do wish Mrs. Rosa Lucas would keep her<br />
fingers out of my school. She?s always making<br />
trouble and telling me about things. Actually<br />
wanted me to start Nannie in the first<br />
part of the Sixth Grade in the middle of<br />
the year. Had a spelling match to-day<br />
and the kids enjoyed it a lot. Lois be-<br />
haved quite nicely even after yesterday. It<br />
was raining this morning but I?m glad<br />
it has cleared up a little. I want you so. Good-night.</td><td>Feb. 5, 1918 [1919]<br />

My but I?m in a sweet mess. Charlie called<br>
me up and said he had made a date for<br>
the dances for me and I just know I can?t do it.<br>
And oh, I do want so awfully much to go. Most<br>
more than I have ever. But I do have the worst<br>
luck. Sure as anything I?ll stay right here this<br>
week-end. It was very nice of him to look out<br>
for me and I appreciate it. The brilliance<br>
of my pupils is amazing. The Vatican is a<br>
volcano and the territory included in La.<br>
Purchase was New Eng. Nothing like it. We were<br>
going out to supper to-night but things arranged<br>
themselves differently and I didn?t mind. Oh<br>
my but it would be nice to have things come<br>
out like you wanted them once but then they<br>
might not be for the best in the end. I do<br>
hope my cloud will show its silver lining in<br>
a hurry. Things that don?t count worry more<br>
than those that should. Please dear boy<br>
love me, I want you oh so much dear<br>
dear heart or is it only what you stand<br>
for now. Good-night prescious sweet-heart.</td><td>Friday Feb 7, 1919<br>
Boy I did have a good time to-night but I would<br>
much rather have danced where you did. Only<br>
then I would have been so busy watching you and<br>
wishing you were dancing with me that I doubt<br>
if I would have enjoyed it so much. Tyler is so<br>
very nice altho he reminds me a little of Paul<br>
Day. He was always there to see that I found my<br>
partner and that I was getting along alright. The<br>
decorations were pretty. Wasn?t it funny that nearly<br>
all the girls I knew danced German and most<br>
of the boys Cotillion. It isn?t right for you to see<br>
me I sometimes think. When your hand touched<br>
my shoulder while we were dancing in the parlor<br>
I just went crazy nearly. Boy I almost think I<br>
love you too much if just your touch gives me<br>
thrills all over. And you insisted I?d rather dance<br>
German. Plank and the Turners surely dance dis-<br>
gracefully. It was nice of Frank [G?] to bring me over<br>
in his car. The train was so late. Fred?s girl is<br>
so nice but not a bit what I expected. Alonzo<br>
Jones is just as foolish as ever I think. I bet he<br>
and Bertha will make some match. Good-night</td></tr></table>

Sat. Feb 8, 1919<br>
Isn?t this a sweet way to behave boy. Come home<br>
to the dance and then get sick and stay in<br>
bed all day. I was in a mess about Tyler be-<br>
cause he is almost a stranger and I didn?t<br>
know what he would think about my not<br>
going. I sent him a note but Phil said<br>
he didn?t like it much. That is my not dancing.<br>
Can?t help it tho?. Went down to the field<br>
house after supper with mother just<br>
to look on. Of course you were there but<br>
not dancing. I know you?ll vow you<br>
never saw me. At least you didn?t speak,<br>
but I don?t see how you could have missed us.<br>
There were some rare sights. The girl in the<br>
purple dress and the Turners had on next<br>
to nothing. No cheek dancing and hugging<br>
for me. If I could act like a lady I wouldn?t<br>
even go to one. Seems like the skirts are<br>
getting long and narrow. I?m sorry to say<br>
I like short so much better. Good-night<br>
dearie. I expected Pat to-night but he didn?t<br>
come.</td><td>Sun. Feb 9, 1919<br>
I surely do have awful luck when it comes to<br>
you. To think that you should have been up<br>
home all morning and me not there. I tried<br>
to get Bush for dinner but he was on guard<br>
duty. I was just composing, or rather I should<br>
say Dick was, a note to ask you to supper<br>
when Pat walked in. He had gotten behind<br>
a wreck and couldn?t get in before. I just sent<br>
the note on anyway tho? I didn?t know how such a<br>
quiet fellow as you would take to such a frivolous<br>
note. You seemed to like it and came. I wish<br>
I could write one like it. Pat is coming. I didn?t<br>
know he?d ever try to kiss me but he did twice and<br>
I had to tell him a few things. That all he wanted<br>
to fool about the handkerchief for so he could [?]<br>
me and my hands. What in the world hap-<br>
pened to you to-night. For once you really<br>
talked. Nonsense too and I couldn?t help<br>
laughing. I don?t know about Pat, only that I<br>
can never love him. He didn?t say anything<br>
to-day only I know. You can tell about these<br>
things. Good night dearest.</td></tr></table>

Pat and I came all the way over here to<br>

first thing I did was to leave my pocket<br>
book in the train. We had quite a time<br>
getting anyone to bring us over here. I<br>
didn?t like to go by myself so Pat said he<br>
take the evening train instead of the A.M.<br>
and go with me. Two foolish looking<br>
county fellows eating apples went to the<br>
end of the macadam road with us. Then<br>
after they left Pat put his arm around<br>
me and it was so cold I let him. We near-<br>
ly froze before we got to the school. When<br>
I went in I never saw such a place<br>
and the kids not doing anything much<br>
Miss Brown had put something on the<br>

writing but I don?t feel one bit that way. My but<br>
what a time I do have with my kids To-<br>
day I found out that about a half a dozen of<br>
them had been smoking. I sure laid<br>
them out but they?re so funny you just have<br>
to laugh. Especially Fred + Archie. Got a 9<br>
page letter from Pat. He says that I ought to<br>
know that he thinks I?m the sweetest girl<br>
in the whole wide world and not in the<br>
world would make him so happy as<br>
to know I cared a little. But I can?t boy<br>
and perhaps I treated him a little wrong<br>
by the letter I wrote. I couldn?t tell him<br>
about you though. He wants to know too much<br>
I was talking about something I wanted so<br>
much and he wants to know what it is. He<br>
thinks he does, but no! for its only a silk kimono<br>
I?m making Valentine boxes for my kids. Hamp<br>
is sick and his mother was so worried<br>
to-night. Good-night.</td><td>Thurs Feb. 13, 1919<br>
Some birthday boy. Twenty years old to-day and<br>
all I?ve done is teach and make candy for<br>
the kids to-morrow. Iva came down to help<br>
us make it. Got a letter from Hamp and<br>
a card from Mrs. Roy Palmer which I must<br>
say gave me a little shock. Hamp is out of<br>
the hospital and is alright again. Had<br>
to lay my boys out again to-day about climbing<br>
in the schoolhouse after we?ve gone. Its<br>
been raining most all day and I do so want<br>
to go home. The funniest thing happened.<br>
Got a letter from Bush and he wants him<br>
self a letter telling him how much I love<br>
him. Believe me I?m going to compose a<br>
good one too. Frank and Roy are about the<br>
most pestiferous kids I ever saw. You can<br>
hardly move without having them under<br>
your heels. Been fixing Valentines and little<br>
candy boxes. Birth days have a way of being<br>
very uneventful sometimes don?t they. Good<br>
night I hope I?ll see you to-morrow night.</td></tr></table>

Fri. Feb. 14, 1919<br>
I nearly didn?t get home to-day boy dear. Just<br>
about the time we were ready to go it began<br>
to rain again and then on the way over<br>
the engine got wet and we had a time<br>
making it go. Before we even got started I<br>
had to argue and beg Howard into taking<br>
us and that took quite a while. I met a re-<br>
turned soldier who has been gassed. Mother<br>
says he?s very interesting. Phoned for Bush to<br>
come up and while waiting went to the<br>
P. O. Bush sent me a pillow cover top. I didn?t<br>
want the boys to know about it but I told him<br>
He came up while Bunker was there and<br>
started in on you as usual. Also said he<br>
would give me a memory book. Tried to get<br>
one for me but couldn?t. I wonder how much<br>
he likes me. I decide I?ll act foolish with<br>
him all the time but I forget. Talked to<br>
Dick quite a while. I nearly died at the kids<br>
to-day with their Valentine Box. Jonnie sent<br>
me such a pretty one. Its so nice to be home<br>

Kate E.</td><td>Sat. Feb. 15, 1919<br>
Oh, haven?t I had a gorgeous time to-day. This morn-<br>

ones through I nearly had to arguse myself to death to get<br>
the little. Also some red hearts but no cake candies. Mrs.<br>
Woolwine helped mother while we danced in the<br>
dining room. I?m glad you like my ear rings. We had<br>
Valentine table cloths and red candle shades etc. Also little<br>
heart place cards and verses. I asked mother to give me<br>
you, Dick and Bush so he wouldn?t feel badly. I did get<br>
a little jealous of you and Dick but Bush wanted my card<br>

gave you a headache but it was your fault. It most broke my heart<br>
I couldn?t go to the game with you but Tyler asked me first. I?m glad<br>
you asked Phil to go. The game was dandy and it was the first<br>
boxing match I?d ever seen. But my head ached so where you hit<br>
me. Bush wanted me to go to. I do hope you come up to-morrow like<br>
you said. Tyler?s quite nice but not like you. I was rather<br>
upset about Oglesby + Merriweather. Something always happens tho?.<br>

Fri. Feb. 14, 1919<br />
I nearly didn?t get home to-day boy dear. Just<br />
about the time we were ready to go it began<br />
to rain again and then on the way over<br />
the engine got wet and we had a time<br />
making it go. Before we even got started I<br />
had to argue and beg Howard into taking<br />
us and that took quite a while. I met a re-<br />
turned soldier who has been gassed. Mother<br />
says he?s very interesting. Phoned for Bush to<br />
come up and while waiting went to the<br />
P. O. Bush sent me a pillow cover top. I didn?t<br />
want the boys to know about it but I told him<br />
He came up while Bunker was there and<br />
started in on you as usual. Also said he<br />
would give me a memory book. Tried to get<br />
one for me but couldn?t. I wonder how much<br />
he likes me. I decide I?ll act foolish with<br />
him all the time but I forget. Talked to<br />
Dick quite a while. I nearly died at the kids<br />
to-day with their Valentine Box. Jonnie sent<br />
me such a pretty one. Its so nice to be home<br />
again. Good night dear. I got my first telegram from<br />

I didn?t go to church this morning ?cause I felt<br>
rather bad. Then I expected you and didn?t think<br>
there would be any service at the Presbyterian<br>
Church but I told you wrong last night ?cause there<br>
was and you and Charlie went. When you came<br>
you fooled with Dick all the time so it didn?t do<br>
me much good. I surely had a time getting over<br>
here. Mother argued and so did I and finally<br>
Jimmie Jones got some one to bring me. We stopped<br>
at Christiansburg to get Lyda. I have never seen<br>
such terrible roads. Every minute I thought we<br>
were going to turn over. If you got out of a certain<br>
rut you were just a goner. Once a car coming got<br>
in the rut we were in and we like to never<br>
have gotten things straightened out. I don?t<br>
reckon I?ll get home for ages now that the<br>
roads are so horrible and its so hard to<br>
get back and forth between you and Bush.<br>
I reckon its a very good thing tho. Lucille was<br>
here and she surely had made some good candy<br>
Good night boy.</td><td>Mon Feb 17, 1919<br>
Boy dear I?m tired a little. Had a letter from<br>
Hampton to-day and he said that their wasn?t<br>
anything to write except how much he loved me<br>
and he?d wait till he came back to tell me that.<br>
Also had a foolish one from Johnnie. Its curious<br>
how when I get over here things don?t seem to<br>
worry me at all like they do at home. There<br>
is one thing I have to settle tho. and that is<br>
whether to write you and what to say if I do.<br>
Have I ever told you that I had a girl in my<br>
room whose grandmother was an Indian?<br>
No telling what you may run up against.<br>
No telling either when I?ll see you again as<br>
the roads are still so bad and mother is<br>
going to Philadelphia Friday most probably<br>
and I?d hate to be home without her<br>
I wonder if Hamp really does like me or is<br>
just fooling like most boys do. I like him<br>
alright but I won?t ever marry on a<br>
liking basis. It?ll have to be love and<br>
a strong one at that. Good-night.</td></tr></table>

Tues. Feb. 18, 1919<br>
I have got such an awfully sore mouth. It surely<br>
does make you feel miserable. To-day after I left<br>
school I stopped by Miss Zannies and she asked<br>
me to make some candy for Howards birthday<br>
It turned out beautifully. We were supposed to<br>
have a meeting of The School League to-night<br>
but nearly every one was sick or had something to<br>
keep them away. We didn?t have it and I was<br>
glad because I never heard of the thing before<br>
I came here and don?t know one thing about<br>
it. Had another letter from Hamp to-day. He<br>
sent me two pictures but I don?t think they<br>
are particularly good of him. I am not sure<br>
whether his mother likes him to like me so<br>
much or not. After all he may be only kidding<br>
as he has had so many girls before. Miss Zannie<br>
introduced me as Miss Grace?s daughter-in-law<br>
when some one came in. they surely don?t mind<br>
talking about things. I should worry tho? for I will<br>
never be a daughter of Mrs. T. Howard. That is un<br>
less I change my mind a whole lot. I?m so sleepy<br>
to-night. So long Boy.</td><td>Wed. Feb 19, 1919.<br>
Thank goodness that 8th grade History Exam<br>
is over. We?ve surely messed with it enough. Mattie<br>
Stump was sick but all the others got through<br>
with it fine. Had a letter from Pat to-day and he<br>
has at last settled himself in Alabama for a while<br>
at least. I?m sometimes sorry I can?t love him<br>
but I?m afraid theres no chance of my ever<br>
doing that. If my mouth don?t soon get better<br>
I think I?ll end in Marion. I sometimes think I<br>
have a hard time but you should hear Miss<br>
Zannie talk about how upset she is and it looks<br>
like things will never go right. I went down there<br>
this afternoon and she gave me some cake<br>
and pineapple. Its surely beautiful out these<br>
last few days. This morning it was cold but the<br>
sky was as blue as indigo and you could hear<br>
the birds all the way up the road. Well boy<br>
I?ve decided to write you but I don?t know<br>
when the deed will be accomplished. I?m<br>
so glad I?ve got my mother. Shes the dear-<br>

her much but she just went. Mrs. Palmer<br>

keep Lyda from going. They just hate<br>
to do things for other people so. None of<br>

say he asks her if he can sneeze mighty<br>
nearly. In a little place like this every one<br>
knows everyones business and doesn?t<br>
seem to have anything else to talk<br>

does now-a-days. Isn?t if funny how<br>

so good to-night. It must be because I?m most<br>
well again. I had just about decided that Lyda wasn?t<br>

would see about my having the whole school<br>

Mon Feb 24, 1919.<br>
My oh but we had a good supper to-night. Fried<br>
chicken, gravy and all sorts of good things. I?m<br>
really getting hungry again and I weigh<br>
109 now. That?s with my overshoes on tho. I<br>
rather hope Lyda won?t leave for I sure<br>
would miss her. Frank does say the very<br>
funniest things. To day in history he said that<br>
Patrick Henry said ?C?z?r and his Brutes?.<br>
He says parriot for parrot. Lyda and I<br>
have a few little tiffs but on the whole we<br>
do very well. The water and my coming in<br>
her room or correcting the youngsters seems<br>
to be the most trouble. Had another letter from<br>
Hamp and also one from [Wilber?]. Funny I don?t<br>
hear from Bush. Hamp sure has the<br>
writing fever. I hear from him about three<br>
times a week. Mother sent me some money<br>
which I sadly needed. Miss Zannie will kill<br>
me yet. She says Mrs. Roy lead Mr. Roy around<br>
like a puppy and they hug and kiss each<br>
other in the back of the store. Good-night dearie.</td><td>Tues. Feb. 25, 1919<br>
I really believe Bush is jealous of you. What a<br>
letter I got from him to-day. About how I got sore<br>
at my birthday party because you fooled with some<br>
other girls and took it out on him. That the other<br>
girls thought I was a fool to act the way I do and<br>
I must have it bad but he understood. Also how<br>

Mon Feb 24, 1919.<br />
My oh but we had a good supper to-night. Fried<br />
chicken, gravy and all sorts of good things. I?m<br />
really getting hungry again and I weigh<br />
109 now. That?s with my overshoes on tho. I<br />
rather hope Lyda won?t leave for I sure<br />
would miss her. Frank does say the very<br />
funniest things. To day in history he said that<br />
Patrick Henry said ?C?z?r and his Brutes?.<br />
He says parriot for parrot. Lyda and I<br />
have a few little tiffs but on the whole we<br />
do very well. The water and my coming in<br />
her room or correcting the youngsters seems<br />
to be the most trouble. Had another letter from<br />
Hamp and also one from [Wilber?]. Funny I don?t<br />
hear from Bush. Hamp sure has the<br />
writing fever. I hear from him about three<br />
times a week. Mother sent me some money<br />
which I sadly needed. Miss Zannie will kill<br />
me yet. She says Mrs. Roy lead Mr. Roy around<br />
like a puppy and they hug and kiss each<br />
other in the back of the store. Good-night dearie.</td><td>Tues. Feb. 25, 1919<br />
I really believe Bush is jealous of you. What a<br />
letter I got from him to-day. About how I got sore<br />
at my birthday party because you fooled with some<br />
other girls and took it out on him. That the other<br />
girls thought I was a fool to act the way I do and<br />
I must have it bad but he understood. Also how<br />
badly he had the blues. I?m not at all sure what<br />
kind of reply he will make to my letter. I tried<br />
to smooth things over but I?m not much good<br />
when it comes to deceiving folks. We had half<br />
holiday and I read and sewed all afternoon.<br />
After supper we made some candy and it<br />
surely is fine. I would like to know how all<br />

Wed. Feb. 26, 1919.<br>
I rather feel out of sorts to-night. I think it<br>
must be from keeping the boys in so<br>
long this afternoon. One of my girls informed<br>
me that the reason the pilgrims came over<br>
here was to plant corn. Bright are they not.<br>
I made candy for Mrs. Howard to-night and<br>
I?m rather tired. Also I want to see you so<br>
much but what would be the use? Heard<br>
from Mamma. I?m glad she is having<br>
such a nice time. I hope she will enjoy<br>
her trip more than I did mine. I just<br>
do not know what I am going to do with<br>
Frank. He just seems to be getting worse<br>
all the time. Whipping wouldn?t do him<br>
any good and I don?t believe much in it.<br>
Besides I haven?t got the strength to do it.<br>
I wish I could write things. Some day<br>
I?ll try perhaps. I?ve so many letters to<br>
write and I don?t know when I?ll ever<br>
finish them all. Good-night.</td><td>Thurs. Feb 27, 1919.<br>
Boy dear, I want you so but whats the use. Im<br>
even getting almost afraid to go home. I just<br>
postively must not let you see that I care<br>
at all. I hurried through the lessons to-day<br>
and went to Mrs. Howards to a Larkin Club<br>
party. I surely did have a nice time. Everyone<br>
seemed to have their babies with them and<br>
they were yelling or messing around. One<br>
woman had on a black and white check silk<br>
dress and wore big amber glasses. She talked<br>
like you were deaf and way up in the air<br>
The shrill kind you know. One tried to be a<br>
little bossy and when Mrs H. gave out the club<br>
pins said she had noticed that they cost 25? in<br>
the book. One kid was outrageously dressed.<br>
Certainly did have good things to eat. Then<br>
I got the prize. It was in a spelling con-<br>
test and I just missed two words. To think<br>
I didn?t get a single letter. Not even an ad-<br>
vertisement to-day. I wonder if Lyda is<br>
coming back after Friday. Good-night<br>
dear boy.</td></tr></table>

Ive had a time to-day with numerous and<br>
sundry things. First playing base with the kids<br>
Then two of my boys ran off. Lyda left this<br>
afternoon and I?m not sure that she is<br>
coming back. I don?t think she?s sure what<br>
she going to do. Then of course it had to go and<br>
rain again. Been making out reports and<br>
its so hard to know how to grade them. I?ve got<br>
a perfectly scandalous fever blister sitting up<br>
on my mouth. Lucille came home to-<br>
night. I?m glad for I rather like her. Little<br>
Frank make me so mad to-day. I don?t gen<br>
erally get that way when hes fooling around but<br>
I was just feeling a little messy anyway. Got<br>
a letter from Pat to-day. I rather think<br>
Hamp has deserted me. I haven?t heard from<br>
him since Monday. I wish I had some good<br>
candy. Martha Washington or home made either.<br>
I?m glad I?m by myself to-night. Good-<br>
night dear.</td><td>Sat. Mar 1, 1919<br>
Lucille and I have had some time to-<br>
day. This morning we made candy. A new<br>
kind that you drop and it turned out<br>
so nicely. Then after dinner I washed my<br>
head. I hadn?t intended getting up for<br>
breakfast but we had stewed oysters so<br>
I just had to. My but its been lovely out<br>
to-day. If all of March is like this I?ll be<br>
very glad. Had a letter from Hamp and the<br>
reason he hasn?t written is that he has<br>
been away. He is coming the fifteenth if<br>
I?m here. Also heard from Robert. He<br>
is going across again in a few days.<br>
Said he heard that Argyle had been<br>
in Paris. Lyda phoned she was coming<br>
back. I just expected she would. I meant<br>
to write some letters to-night but got so<br>

to day. One to Gardiner Tyler. I?m not sure<br>

he wrote after the dances. It cloudy to-<br>

Description
An account of the resource
<p>A scrapbook of poetry, newspaper clippings and pressed flowers from the 1860s, likely created by Virginia Bedinger Lucas, younger sister of Daniel Bedinger Lucas. Virginia was born December 16, 1837 and died April 27, 1867. Daniel was born March 16, 1836 and died June 24, 1909. Both were born, at Rion Hall near Charles Town, Virginia (now West Virginia). The two siblings shared a love and talent for poetry. Though never published during her short lifetime, several of Virginia's poems were published in Daniel's 1869 volume, <em>The Wreath of Eglantine, and Other Poems</em>.<br /><br /><br /></p>
<p>The bulk of the material in the collection of which this scrapbook is a part was either created by or relates to Daniel Bedinger Lucas. He attended the University of Virginia, and then studied law under Judge John W. Brockenbrough of Lexington, Virginia. In 1859 he began practicing law at Charles Town but moved the next year to Richmond. At the beginning of the Civil War in 1861 he joined the staff of General Henry A. Wise and took part in the Kanawha Valley campaign, but his physical disability from a childhood spine injury kept him from active service in the last years of the war. Toward the end of the war he ran the blockade to defend his friend John Yates Beall, accused of being a Confederate spy, but was unable to defend him against the charges. Beall was executed on Governors Island, New York. In 1869, Lucas married Evalina (Lena) Tucker Brooke, of Richmond. Their only child, Virginia, was born in 1873. Barred from the practice of law until 1871, due to restrictions on the service of ex-Confederates, Lucas turned to literature and became co-editor of the Baltimore Southern Metropolis. Many of his poems were published in this magazine. He reentered the practice of law in 1871 and took a prominent role in the Democratic party politics of West Virginia, acting as Democratic elector in the elections of 1872 and 1876, to the legislature in 1884 and 1886, and as a member of the supreme court of appeals from 1889 to 1893. Lucas's volumes of poetry include <em>The Wreath of Eglantine</em> (1869) and <em>Ballads and Madrigals</em> (1884). He wrote three plays about the Civil War. His books include <em>The Memoir of John Yates Beall</em> (1865) and <em>Nicaragua, War of the Filibusters</em> (1896). He was known as the "poet of the Shenandoah Valley."</p>

Description
An account of the resource
The collection consists of a manuscript map survey of land in Montgomery County, Virginia, belonging to Philadelphia merchant Levi Hollingsworth. The acreage, divided into thirty-two tracts of one thousand acres each, is situated on the Guyandotte River, a tributary of the Ohio, in present day West Virginia. The surveyor, Dorsey Pentecost, attests to the agreeable location of the land, which he says is in a fertile area, abundant in game, well-timbered, and producing crops of tobacco, among others. He also notes that Mr. Hollingsworth's land is 'situated near the extensive and fertile settlement of Caintucky.' The map is of Montgomery County as is was in 1784, not the modern-day Montgomery County.
Levi Hollingsworth, the youngest son of Zebulon Hollingsworth and Anne Maulden, was born in 1739 in Head of Elk, MD. The family, settled into Philadelphia, establishing themselves as a wealthy family of landholders in Maryland and Delaware. Levi became a merchant at the age of eighteen, building one of the most successful merchantile firms in Philadelphia. He specialized in the sell of grains, whiskey and flour. Levi Hollingsworth's death in 1824 coincided with the decline of Philadelphia as the center for the flour industry.
Levi Hollingsworth was a resolute patriot throughout the Revolution, serving under George Washington as the first quartermaster of the Light Horse of the City of Philadelphia and participating in the battles of Princeton and Trenton.
Marrying Hannah Paschall, daughter of a business partner, in 1768. They had eight children: Stephen Paschall, Lydia, Paschall, Margaret, Mary, Sarah, Henry, and Stephen.
The surveyor, Dorsey Pentecost was one of the leading citizens in southwestern Pennsylvania during the Revolutionary period . He is first listed in Frederick County, Virginia in 1768. In 1769, he acquired land in Rostraver Township, Westmoreland County, and likely moved there with his wife, Catherine Beeler, soon after their 1770 marriage. In 1777, he moved to what is now Linden, North Strabane Township, Washington County. He represented Washington County in the Supreme Executive Council from 1781-1783, and was a judge from 1783-1786.
Pentecost's name appears in many civil and military records. He was involved in land transactions from Illinois to Virginia. A full account of his life is given in Mary A. F. Diener's The Honorable Dorsey Pentecost, Esquire (Fresno, Calif: Pioneer Pub. Co., 1978). She was unable to find data on Pentecost's death. Best evidence is that he died in Kentucky in the spring of 1793.
In the 1790 census Pentecost was living in (North) Strabane Township. On November 4, 1790, the sheriff sold his farm to Levi Hollingsworth, Pentecost's land partner. When the 1793 tax list was made about December 1792, he was taxed for 1500 acres, 4 horses, 2 cows. The last of many civil actions involving Dorsey Pentecost is dated March 1793, when his attorney appeared for him.

Description
An account of the resource
This collection contains a letter written by Virginia House of Delegates member William Vinson to his wife and children in Wayne County, (West) Virginia. After noting his homesickness, Vinson proceeds to write of the possibility of the general assembly session being extended, then makes note of health conditions in the Richmond area ("the has bin Right smart feever in this plase and small pox...") and describes his personal health. Addressing his son, Richard, Vinson extols at length the value of a good education. He then expresses delight at recent news about the birth of his new son ("Jane after i heard that you had that Whig Boy i enlisted my frends to come to my Room that Nite and that it was my treat..."). Vinson makes some mention of his own endeavors in the general assembly on behalf of his constituents, including his attempts to get a mail route and road up the Tug Fork River and a road up Twelve Pole Creek. Vinson concludes by noting that he has won more than $100 and an expensive pen and pencil set through local lotteries. William Vinson, son of James Vinson and Rhoda Sperry, was born about 1819 in Lawrence County, Kentucky. He married Jane Chambers, of Wyoming County, (West) Virginia in September 1835. The couple lived in Wayne County for some time and had several children. Vinson served in the Virginia House of Delegates for one session (1853-1854). One source indicates that he served as a captain in the 14th Kentucky Infantry, though no further record of his service could be found. Vinson died in 1883 in Lawrence County, Kentucky.

<p class="western" style="margin-bottom:.18in;">Thirty-six years ago I moved to King street above Chestnut. it was then a part of Norfolk Co. Allen was born soon after. I didn’t stay there long. the environments didn’t suit me. I turned a chick out, and before I could carry an armful of firewood up stairs — as we lived on the second floor. — the chicken disappeared. I don’t say that my chicken was stolen, but it “came back directly no more” after that I moved to North street and staid there until the death of my wife Imogene. “Altho” T.G. and his wife tried to keep me from renting the house, after the death of my aunt Rachel.

This day 50 years ago I was a forced refugee
from here living in N.C. — The Civil War was in progress and
our Confederates were correspondingly depressed. Lee had been
defeated at Gettysburg, and the backbone of the rebellion broken, yet
it waged near two years longer against fearful odds. — I guess
Mr Negro will eventually have to do what the children of Israel did
under the leadership of Moses, i.e. leave & establish under God a
government under his direction. It looks that way, to me. — Rev
Joseph Gregory died on the 11th at Franklin. — Fifty eight
years ago this month the great epidemic, Yellow Fever, was raging in
Portsmouth and Norfolk. White people were dying by scores, and a very
few colored. I was a Drs boy and escaped it all, didnt miss a meal,
but I was scared “tho.” Mother was ill also her husband.
They recovered, strange I have been “thru” so many
epidemics unscathed. The Lord is keeping me for something. to gett
better probably. I am a long ways from. being what I ought to be.

This day 50 years ago I was a forced refugee
from here living in N.C. — The Civil War was in progress and
our Confederates were correspondingly depressed. Lee had been
defeated at Gettysburg, and the backbone of the rebellion broken, yet
it waged near two years longer against fearful odds. — I guess
Mr Negro will eventually have to do what the children of Israel did
under the leadership of Moses, i.e. leave & establish under God a
government under his direction. It looks that way, to me. — Rev
Joseph Gregory died on the 11th at Franklin. — Fifty eight
years ago this month the great epidemic, Yellow Fever, was raging in
Portsmouth and Norfolk. White people were dying by scores, and a very
few colored. I was a Drs boy and escaped it all, didnt miss a meal,
but I was scared “tho.” Mother was ill also her husband.
They recovered, strange I have been “thru” so many
epidemics unscathed. The Lord is keeping me for something. to gett
better probably. I am a long ways from. being what I ought to be.

Paid Henry Shaw 50¢ for Baskerville at his request, or

himself in the forefront. I guess he will burn some day. — We held service
in the county jail with John Bell, a white man sentenced to die in
the electric chair for murder. he is very penitent and desired our
prayers, which don’t cost money, and he shall have them. and
salvation is as free as the prayers, and I venture to say more free.
We had no silver or gold but such as we had we gave him.

sermon out of his people after its delivery. he reminds me of the
young people. it is hard to get them to bed in time and harder to get
them out of bed. It is hard to get him started, as he is always late,
and when he gets at it he is harder to stop, regardless of who
preaches, himself or some one else, and it is never anything new.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in;">28th Con</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;">Our pastor delights in talking the
sermon out of his people after its delivery. he reminds me of the
young people. it is hard to get them to bed in time and harder to get
them out of bed. It is hard to get him started, as he is always late,
and when he gets at it he is harder to stop, regardless of who
preaches, himself or some one else, and it is never anything new.

Description
An account of the resource
Jeffrey Thomas Wilson (1843-1929) was a former slave who spent most of his life in and around Portsmouth and Norfolk, Virginia. He outlived four wives and had at least twelve children. Wilson's diaries include entries on a range of topics from local news and politics, race issues in the South, and much of his personal history. The 1913 diary contains extra pages on which Wilson recorded events from that date in the past.
According to his obituary, he learned to read and write in secret. Based on his diary, he was the body servant of A[lexander]. P. Grice, likely the son of his owner, who served with Company A, Cohoon's Battalion, Virginia Infantry, at least during a part of 1862. In 1866, after being freed, Wilson enlisted and went to Europe with the U.S. Navy. When he returned home, he lived in the house he inherited from his mother. Wilson worked at the Portsmouth Navy Yard, as a laborer, and as a bailiff for the Federal Court at Norfolk. In his later years, from 1924 until his death in 1929, he wrote a column called "Colored Notes" for The Portsmouth Star. The column included social news, Wilson's political views, and issues of race relations--all themes that occur throughout his diaries. Wilson was active in the Emmanuel AME Church in Portsmouth, where he taught Sunday school. In June of 1929, Wilson was hit by a car. He died at his son's home, two months later, on August 25, 1929.
Entries for the 1913 diary were kept in a Wanamaker's Diary (produced by the department store chain) actually designed for 1911. As a result, Wilson has hand-corrected the days of the week throughout to reflect 1913. The diary includes advertisements, as well as a history of the Wanamaker stores.
In addition to the entries recorded (two to a page), throughout the year, Wilson attached additional pages to continue writing. Many of these consists of reminiscences of his life in previous years on topics from the Civil War, his service in the U. S. Navy, segregation and race issues in Portsmouth and Norfolk, and local news. He also writes of daily events: his family's health, church events, the weather, and his frequent concerns about money.
In addition, the 1913 diary was the subject of a digital exhibit <a href="http://digitalsc.lib.vt.edu/exhibits/show/wilsondiary" target="_blank">available online</a>.
