where I am going with Papa. About noon Mama started on foot to visit Mrs Herd and I went to ironing. but I had not ironed long, before I burned myself badly blistering a place a bout as large as a two shilling piece which pained me very much. After ironing I went to washing and had just hung out my dresses when I was seized with a violent pain in my shoulder which entirely disabled me for an hour and has left my neck so stiff that I cannot turn my head but a very little, but I can very easily account for the pain, while I was washing I got into a violent sweat in the height of which I left off and went to the spring for a pail of water, one of the boards on the bridge was loose on to one side of which I stepped and the opposite one flew up leaving me partly in the spring and partly on the bridge, as soon as i got to the house I took off my wet shoe and stocking and thought no more about it, but went on with washing and was soon in another sweat in which I went out to hang up my clothes soon after which I was taken with a violent pain. After heating, bathing and sweating my shoulder I got a little eased and finished my ironing. After I had finished clearing away supper which I got for Oliver Caroline & Dick Papa and Mama returned. Mama said she enjoyed herself very much, she had been to the claim and seen the house which she thought looked very pleasant. While I was getting supper Mr Cavenes? Peter's brother in law, called to get a pound of tobaco for which he is to pay with work he said Pete's sister was getting better fast but that her eyes were very sore. Mama & Caroline are going to bed and Papa such a jabbering that I can hardly think. Papa is down stairs, asleep as usual Olliver is reading. Dick has been as mischievous today as a monkey and if I scolded at him he would tell me to do my own business call me a brute a huzzy a tomcat and every thing else that he ever heard Davis? or Erastus call the cattle or dogs.
