Joe and Lewis have been cuting thistles most of the time to day in the out field, North East corner. I went up to Simcoe to sell wool partly and partly after some flour & c. Had dinner at Jack Harris. Saw Mr. Horton in Simcoe. Expected to have had a call from him and Mrs. Horton this evening; but, have been disappointed. Sold wool to day at twenty cents cash and twenty five cents trade. Brought home five Hundred weight of flour from D. Roses Mill, two of which I took to Lewis.
