As the moon has changed, Julia [the cook] has gone to making
soap again. She is a strong believer in the moon, and never undertakes to boil
her soap on the wane of the moon. "”t won't thicken, mist'ess — see if it
does!” She says, too, we must commence gardening this moon. I have felt a
strong desire today that my captured boys might come back. Oh, how thankful I
should feel to see them once more safe at home!
