Lizzie went up to Marietta with Lucy.  Not a very pleasant day, raining some.  Kate is sick with headache.  I read the Gazette through to Mr. Burgess.   Mrs. Terril here washing.  Nancy is complaining of her feet which having been frozen some years ago and always troubles in cold weather.  The rebel ship, Merrimack, attacked and sunk the Cumberland, U. S. ship.  George got back today.
