Tuesday, May 5, 1868 - "Uncle James Coulter was here to day"

This is a fine day. We sowed oats to day. I was draging to day. The Cellar was cleaned out to day.
I filled the leach to day.
Uncle James Coulter was here to day.
Mr. Lee was up here this afternoon. 1868*
One year ago to day was Sunday.
Fill the rest out at your leasure.
There was a raid at R. Scotts to night. Tom Winter, Alice Russell, John and Joe Forrest, Miss Dysart, Cable, Warren, Lewis and Thompson were thare.
*The visits of Walter's Uncle James and Mr. Lee (probably Rev. Lee) likely was related to a squabble James and his wife Nancy were having with the Bovina U.P. Church. For more about this squabble, go to the Bovina NY History Blog for May 2011 to see two entries about this http://bovinanyhistory.blogspot.com/2011/05/brothers-in-law-part-i.html
