=== MONDAY, OCTOBER 17 1870. === WIll and I went down to Thurlow's place this morning after some sheep. We brought home 15 which I paid three dollars and a half for. This increases our flock to about forty ewes. We all worked at geting in cloverseed this afternoon. Got in three loads. This did not take it all but there are about three loads left. Our friend E. H. from Dover came to night. I have enjoyed a goodly portion of the Love of God in my heart to day. Praise the Lord for his abundant mercy. === TUESDAY, OCGTOBER 18, 1870. === Will went away this morning to attend the show at Simcoe. Charley & I went this afternoon. We had quite a pleasant or rather, I did. Saw Ed. Carpenter who has just returned from the West. Also several others who I had wished to see for some time. The show, taken alltogether, was very good, especially the sheep and swine, which departments were first class. The horses to were good. But the cattle I would pronounce somewhat inferior.
