Written from the Sea islands of South Carolina.
[Diary] July 31. 1862.
Mr. Soule came to live here as General Superintendent. He has recently had his arm broken and is not yet able to cut up his food at dinner, so I did it for him, to Ellen’s most amusing annoyance.
Pay-day for the negroes. Nelly and Mr. Hooper paid them at the rate of $2 per acre. Most of the women had earned $5 — the men, on an average, not so much.
