The boys have both been ploughing in the new ground field as usual They are geting along nicely after all The weather has some appearance of becomeing colder though.

NOVEMBER SATURDAY, 27 1886

Albert McWade and Peter Mitchel have both been ploughing in the new ground field as usual. Albert got up wood this forenoon however. I have very busy at sundry jobs It seems as though I am never to complete my arrangements for Winter. Have felt very much tempted to dou'bt and fear to day. But still the sun-light is breaking through the clouds ever and more. Glory to God
