Friday October 20th

Dick was sick last night Simcoe was too much for him. He did not go to school all day but is a little better to-night. I sawed a lot of wood and finished up my wood pile. Then I cleaned out the stables and rubbed down Joe & Ginger. Then I picked up the good pears under Titus' favoriye tree. I picked apples all the afternoon, and got all off one Tollman Sweet tree and all that were on a Spittsonburg but there were only a few. Frank got quite a few hickory nuts this afternoon. Daddy plowed and got quite a lot done. The two Miss Haldings Miss. Morgan and Miss Buckwell drove Isacks pacer over this afternoon. Miss. Buckwell was in to-night to see dad about leasing {illegible}. Miss Philip was over this evening for more butter as she said she liked the last lot very much.
