SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1870.

Charley and I furrowed out the field in front of the tennant House this morning, Towards noon I went out to Dover to take mother & sister. We took dinner at Miss Howells. I attended the meeting of the Norfolk Woolen Mills Company this afternoon. It was decided to accept an offer made for the Companys property by a firm down East. It will ammount to about fifty percent of the whole stock of the Company.

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1870.

Ma and I went out to Dover this morning to hear our old brother in Christ 'Father Messmore'. He gave us an excellent discourse from "This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation". His discourse was animated, and as full of life and vigour as though he were a man of forty, instead of three score and ten. We had our dinner at Mrs Bowlbys after which we came home. I have enjoyed communion with God and fellowship of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ to day.
