ecept for finishing up the last loads and Dad. finished tham up this after noon.

A Mr. Broadley from Charlotteville came in just before dinner with a big grey Pickeron stallion. and he stayed here to dinner. The stallion was "Jason" the one Chart Wooley bought at Yeager's sale. This Broadley has just bought him from Chart and wants to travel him down this way. He is the same one that Stinhoff had through here last year and didn't have many colts. I did odd jobs & chores all day. Neil Elliott was in this after noon and looked at m my big steer and offered me 10 cts for him now, but I didn't sell him. Sunny & cool.
