After last week was so frustrating, this week is even worse. The illnesses that I was so thankful my family hasn't caught has finally come to four of my eleven children and my husband. Samuel and Jonathan are needed to do the labor and help their father around the plantation and Cornelia and Jane were just getting the hang of sewing. Everyone is running around our lovely home rushing to do their daily activities because were so short on people. If only those slaves would work a little harder...
Samuel, Jonathan, Cornelia, and Jane are all complaining of their head pounding and they're vomiting all over their room so I had to relocate them somewhere it would be easier to clean the mess. I feel as if their skin is starting to turn yellow, but maybe I'm just imagining it. I hope they feel better soon and that work can return to normal for my husband.
