Saturday, May 2, 1868 - "I was soldering tin-pans to day"

This is a wet day. I am doing chores to day. I was soldering tin-pans to day. 1868. A. Boyd was down to Brushland to day. Jim is home to night. One year ago to day. Jim Atkin was here. Jim fetched up the papers to night. Fill the rest out at your leasure. 1868  I fixed a new bottom under the Leach* to day.

The Viceroy of Egypt marries a new wife every year, which is as neat a way of tallying time as we know of.

*This may refer to a ‘leach pan’ used to extract lye.
