Wednesday, November 18, 1868 – “The wind South East.”

This is a Stormy day. The wind South East. I was doing chores to day. I tapped my Boot to day. John Hoy was here making cider to day. I saw Frank Gowanlock to day. He is chopping at John Lewises. R. Biggar was here to day. Jim went over to Andes to day. 1868.

Mrs. Stonewall Jackson it is said has received $15,000 from the sale of her husband’s Life. 
Josh Billings* says he don’t care how much a man talks if he’ll only say it in a few words. 1868
