July 5, 1941, Saturday

Fine weather for July harvesting. Cooling breezes in shade but the Sun shines Hot to further the growing crops along. Combining will be finished next week if it does not rain. Mrs. Teels is with daughter Maude Askew who has a 9 lb boy born 1 A.M. 4th July at Oklahoma City. Scripture reading Gen. 27:38, Matt. 6:7-16

Frank is at Clinton for weekend. Mary has gone to help Dad at the Store. I did some work in Yard as soon as Breakfast was over. The Sun shines too hot to stay in it later than 9 A.M. Flowers are pretty and an abundance of them. Mary brought me a lunch and while here Ethel Cooper come by to tell me to get the Lily bulbs she gave me. Ethel and Byron (Pete) are moving all the things from Cooper house so Paul Maloy can move in right away.

I am proud to get a Lily because Ethel gave it to me and it comes from her mother in New Mexico. I wrote Jack a long letter today. Mary, Dad and I spent the Evening at Clinton until 9 P.M. Grace brought the hired men back to town . The men finished stacking of Alfalfa hay.
Grace and her children always look so pretty and neatly dressed. All five of them were with her last night.

I received a letter from my Preacher Grandson, Dr. Lawrence B. Cobb of Baptist Church at Union, Mississippi. He told me of some encouraging phases of his Church work, of his lovely family and home life.
