=== WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1870. === Will and I have been digging potatoes to day while Charley keeps on ploughing. We comenced to dig in the field in front of the tennant house. Something remarkable has occured this season which I do not remember ever seeing before. We have had no frost since last Spring to kill, even tomato vines, until last night. And then we not ceased to have rain continually since Spring while East of us 50 or 100 miles they have had almost a continual drought. === THURSDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1870. === We were visited last night by another heavy rain. Charly has not been stoped from ploughing however. I have been out to Dover with a load of wheat this afternoon. Sold it for a dollar per Bushell. The way often seems dark and drear in spite of constant efforts to "trust in the Lord, with all my heart." I stand in constant and Great Grace, such God alone can supply else I am not able to stand for a moment before my enemies.
