=== TUESDAY, MARCH 1, 1870. ===
I have had Charley to work at cuting wood and threshing peas Most of the forenoon I spent in running arround trying to get some one to help me kill a beef which I thought to take to Hamilton to-morrow. Failed in my plans and this afternoon have been geting ready to start after the Bull to morrow. The weather still remains cold and I hope it may too for a couple of days at least. I have not before felt my whole soul go out in prayer to God for that blessing which is the desire of my heart in a more remarkable way than too-day.
=== WEDNESDAY, MARCH 2, 1870. ===
I started for Nelson this morning with the teem and sleigh after a Durham Bull Calf, which I bargained for with Mr Springer. I took dinner at Caledonia and arrived at my destination about sun down. Nothing unusual hapened me on my trip down only that the weather was exceedingly cold. I went with the family to the meeting, which still continues. One of local preachers of the circuit Mr. Breckan{?} preached from It is the duty of Men to pray, and not to faint. The text was a word in season to my poor soul.
