Saturday, January 18, 1868 - "...it will pass for a fair winter day."

It is Somewhat cold to day. But it will pass for a fair winter day. I went over to the But[t]end to mill this forenoon and I also went down to Brushland. Watt Stott roade up with me from Brushland. 1868
I was drawing wood this afternoon. I was into Walt O. Stotts today in Brushland. Ann is not at home to day.
