FRIDAY, MARCH 25, 1870.

We have been all of us, engaged at sundry jobs to day. The weather is still very cold and backeward, indeed, more like February than March. I was down to see Mrs. Newcombe to night and have by the blessing of God been permitted to make some arrangement with her as well as with some others of a very satisfactory nature. It does do me so much good to have it in my power to pay my debts. He says, Owe no man any thing &c.

SATURDAY, MARCH 26, 1870.

The boys have been cuting wood to day &c. I went to town this morning with Brown's. The roads are pretty bad. I took out my cloverseed and left it at Martins's. Purchased a couple Bushells of another kind, besides a couple bushells of the Alsyke{?} seed. I took dinner with Homer and Charlotte to day they have been on a trip down to Wellington Square and have just got back. She reports having seen E. S. and having had an introduction to him &c. Of course they are all well.
