=== TUESDAY, JANUARY 18, 1870. === Charley and I killed a beef too day. This is my first effort in this line. Got along all right. Henry and Charly cut wood this afternoon. To night we had a party of young folks {illegible} Dover and among the rest was a young man from near Wellington Square Station who is acquainted with Frank Springer, Ed. Sovereign, Miss Scott Miss Annie{?} &c. Miss H. B. and several others were also here. We had a pleasant evenings visit from them. Still as in other days my whole desire is entered in God. === WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 19, 1870. === I have had Charley cuting wood & spliting to day. I went to mill this forenoon and while the grist was grinding I went over to town. Took dinner at George Hall's. Afterwards I went down to the port for a skate. I had several of my friends to acompany me and had a fine time. Miss Bessie Scott was one of the company, also Jont.{?} Carpenter, Hellen Bowlby and Annie Douglas. With the latter one I had the pleasure of skating most of the time. I got home in pretty good time with my grist although the roads are very rough. The weather is very beautiful at present & I hope it will continue.
