FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1870.

I went out to Dover again this morning after my sister, to come We have been working in the Cloverseed to day. Mother had some visitors whom was my old friend and companion Mrs. Greggs or the Minerva Flanders of my boyhood days. Was somewhat disappointed this morning in hearing that the price of Barley had fallen ten cents per Bushell at one jump The weather continues quite warm and very pleasant with some signs of rain.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1870.

It rained last night so that we could no draw in cloverseed to day. The boys have not been doing much. We had visitors from York State today. Mrs. & Mr. Pratt. They came with their daughter Mrs George Hall and our friend E. Hall. We had a very pleasant visit with them, of course. I am in doubt just now what course to pursue in future. If it were not that the whole matter is in the Hands of God, whose directions I ask, I would be quite uneasy considering the turn which matters have taken.
