1862 June 21, Fredericksburg, Va.

[from the diary of Dr. Brodie Strachan Herndon]

                                21st
Mol & I take a ride and I
get a tumble from my horse
which frightend her much.  she
is a Capital horsewoman or
she would have been unhorsed too
Mother actually works garden
with  her hoe herself early in the
morning.  The tomato plants want
work so much and she cannot
get William to do it.
