WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1870.

I have had Charley making a ditch back of the barn to day with the horses & scraper. I have been doing a thousand and one little jobs to day myself. and have been all over the neighbourhood to do them, or nearly so. To night we have had some of our neighbours in to spend the evening with us. John Matthews & lady. Enjoyed their visit much. The weather is at present very beautiful more like Summer than the last Fall month.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1870.

Charley has been ploughing to day as usual. I finished digging the potatoes to day, besides doing some other jobs. To night I went down to Smiths on School business Got along all right. The weather is still very beautiful. Met with our old class leader Captain McFell to night He is home for a couple of weeks, I hope for good, His presence being so much needed at our services. I am trying to serve the Lord with gladness, still!
