Saturday, February 8, 1868 – “I got ten firkins and 4 tubs to day.”

This is a cold morning.  Murcury down to 10 [degrees] below zero. I was down to Brushland this forenoon. I got ten firkins and 4 tubs to day. Bill came home to day. I was drawing Manure this afternoon. I was into the Post Office to day. 1868
I saw H. Warren to day.

Ten Follies-
