Friday, February 14, 1868 – “Murcury down to zero.”

It is cold this morning. Murcury down to zero. W. Stotts vandue* came off to day. I was down to it. Thare was quite a crowd at the Vandue to day. Susan and Sandy Wilbur** were thair to day. James Penney and wife R. Neisch and wife were thare to day. The cows sold high one for $72. Thare was Singing School in Brushland to night. Wat. Stott took down a load. Net Rutherford was along. Sandy Wilbur came up with me. He stayed all night. Jane Boyd was here to night.

*Vendue – an auction
**Susan and Sandy (Alexander) Wilbur were brother and sister, the children of Hatzel and Ann Wilbur.  They were from Hamden.  Their significance in Coulter’s life will become obvious by February 27.
