Friday, December 4 – “I got the horses Shod to day.”

It is not quite so cold to day as it has been. I was down to Brushland this forenoon. I got the horses Shod to day. Lill went down with me. I was drawing dung this afternoon. 1868. I paid out $14.40 to day. Thare is Singing School in Brushland to night. Jim came home to night. John Lewis* got home from Wisconsin to day. He has been away from home one year. He started from Wis on Monday last. 4 day on the road. Bovina. 1868.

*This likely is John Lewis (1822-1910), the son of William Lewis and Nancy Burns. Born in Bovina, he settled in Patch Grove, Wisconsin, dying there in 1910.
