Friday, July 3, 1868 - "I am hoeing potatoes to day."

[Brushland]
This is a very hot day. Murcury up to 84 (degrees) in the shade to day. I am hoeing potatoes to day. Brushland.
Mrs. Boyd was down here to day.
I plowed some the potatoes to day.

Bring me that gentle 
Lovely flower
That blossoms
In the dell,
For I do love
Its sweet perfume
Far more than
Words may tell;
Original.
Bring me the Flower I love.
