Rose quite early had all of the children dressed
by breakfast & enjoyed a nice quiet hour
reading after breakfast,
enough to send the baby out--though
Daisy staid by me pretty closely, but I
can manage to keep her quiet if I can
instruct her in any thing--Pa brought two
gentlemen in with him to dinner--
Major Howard & Major Wilson. the former
claims your acquaintance & very politely
offered to mail a letter for me. I
hope he may remember it. Major Wilson
is from Cumberland Co. & seemed to be an
exceedingly gentlemanly person--His companion
tried to pass him off for a married
man, but from some observations he
made afterwards presume that he was not.
Pa is becoming rather tired of our
S.C. soldier, thinks he is sufficiently well
to leave, by some means managed to put
him to apple gathering to day & I think
he took the hint & will leave to morrow
Mr. Austin, Mr. Smith's nurse, has been
put to work also, as Mr Smith is
well enough to help himself now sits
up & reads all day--Last night began
to wean Jacque; poor little fellow. He cried
a great deal during the night=It went to
my hear to hear him. I could hardly resist his tears.
