June MONDAY 15 1896

Went up to Simcoe this forenoon and took our crop of wood with me, only six fleeces hoever and sold it at seventeen cent per pound cash to Brooks. Saw my mother-in-law W. A. Ferguson and was glad to leave an opportunity for talking to him about my interest. Cultivated out our strawberry patch for the fourth time this afternoon.

June TUESDAY 16 1896

A circumstance happened this morning that gave me much relief. Sold the three year old colt that I have been fiting up to sell for this long time. Strange to say she only brought twenty nine dollars though quite a fine large beast and perfectly sound. Mr Abercromby a near neighbour made the purchase. Have had some beautiful showers last night and to day.
