[continuation of a chart of dates of moon phases, including November and December 1870] === SATURDAY, JANURAY 1, 1870 === I have been at home all day too-day but Charley has been off enjoying himself. I have a considerable respect for that old adage All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. This first day of the new Year I have spent well, for I have been as busy as a nailer{?}, fixing up fences &c. The weather is still beautiful, too nice to last long. I have been writing my letter to My Friend F. W.{?} S. too-night. I have been happy too-day--happy in the saviours love. Glory be to His holy name.
