A warm cloudy day. We all staid at home. We had a nice mess of turnip greens and did enjoy them. This evening Mrs. Booker and Ray come. Alma and Lonnie Bennett come. Alma brough[t] me a fruit cake and a box of candy and two pounds of butter. I am so glad of all of the things. We did not have any butter for several days. That is so little that we did not want to eat it. I am so glad to be remembered by the children. Wish I could see them all once more.
