I arose with a headache this morning and have felt miserable all day. Neither of us went to church. I went up stairs and slept for a long time this forenoon. We have had strawberries 3 times today, but they are getting pretty thin and will soon be all gone. I found some ripe black raspberries in the woods today; they were good size, too, for wild fruit. Went over to Neill’s a little while this afternoon to borrow a Doctor book for Kate. We rode down to water Jimmie tonight. It has been two weeks since I have heard from home and I want a letter.
