1822
• Back where I lived before the weather was bad for the cotton I had. The first year my cotton did not grow too well so I had to sell more cattle to pay for my yearly land payment. Near the end of the year of 1822 my cotton did not grow at all.

• My cotton had some trouble growing due to the drought that was going on. Most of my cattle were no longer living also because of the drought.

• My slave got sick and soon died. My dad bought some more lumber so we could build a place for the cattle to sleep. The payment went down a little bit so we could start saving more money.
