Monday September 18th

Got up very late this morning. Dad worked on the {wheat ground?} all morning but had a few interruptions. Watson's cattle {broke the} fence with ours but we let things go and they went back again before night. Mr Langdon {illegible} came over this morning wanting to buy some of the manure but Daddy would not listen then he wanted by ten acres of soil without success then he wanted to know if the apples were sold and when Dad told him they were he went. Then Mr. {Higgins?} and Huby came over. I went out with the team while Daddy came in and sold the blue grass seed to him for seventy-five dollars. Dad's price {illegible}. I chored around all morning. After dinner Daddy and I took the blue grass down and {illegible} gave him cash in full at the Commercial Hotel and of course he had to treat the boy. To-night Daddy and I went down to hear Mr. Charltonspout but we all did not know what he was taking about and I guess he didn;t either. There was a big crowd there neveertheless. Jim Law was therehaving a fine time till Geo. Hammondtried to put him downstage and then he promise to be good. We did not stay long {rest of sentence obscured}.
