Thursday July 23, 1868 - "Gen William S. Rosecrans has been nominated and confirmed Minister to Spain."

This is a fine day. I did not mow any with the Machine to day. Brushland.
We drawed in 53/3 loads of hay to day.
We mowed the little orchard to day. One year ago to day the horses run away. It was a very warm day.
Brushland Bovina.

More than 10,000 persons greeted Hon. John A. Griswold* on his return home from Washington.
Gen William S. Rosecrans has been nominated and confirmed Minister to Spain.


*Griswold was in Congress from 1863 to 1869. In 1868 he ran as the Republican candidate for Governor of New York but was defeated by the Democrat John Thompson Hoffman.
