Well @moliveiradev says things get better soon so I'm looking forward to that. But things continue in a grim vein in early July 1837 & this one came out of the blue.

One of Ann's tenants keeps trying to pay his rent to Sam Washington but SW's MIA ...

Anne wants to help and just take his rent money so he can leave (he's in a hurry), but she needs to consult with Ann.

3 July 1837 (in code so no punctuation):

"then went to Ann found her lying down all right at breakfast did not know anything was the matter ..."

"... just asked if I should take the rent for her or if she would go down herself she began crying Mrs. [sic] SW [Mr. Sam Washington] ought to settle these things she was quite tired of paying him and having all to do herself no I was not to take the rent ..."
3/

"... she would send George the man ought give three months notice or pay three months rent she would send him to Mrs. [sic] Parker [Mr. Parker, the lawyer] I said I thought this would be more than it was worth she had better take the rent and have done with the man ..."

"... she cried the more I said she was very foolish to cry about it she answered she would try to do for herself we had not been happy of late wished I would let her go away I calmly replied I would not make her unhappy she should do as she liked ..."

" ... little Mary came in I sent her down then said well my love I shall give you a kiss (did so) and go out which I did immediately and saw her no more till dinner when all pass off tolerably went to the meer afterwards and on returning found coffee made ..."

"... but Ann was gone to bed found her door fast on my coming upstairs well now surely I shall get rid of her."

And so it goes ...
