Raw & chilly. dora & Edwd went
to "Fairfield" after breakfast and
brought little Dora home with them
in the phaeton to keep her until
they are through with their
hog killing work. I went over
John Bentley's for bullit moulds
and made some bullits for my
Revolver. I received a letter
from Balto. from Mrs F Corregan
widow of James Corregan formerly
of Durlington Harford Co.
asking for my bill for professional
services rendered in 1870 -71
(28 years ago) I sent her an itemized
statement by return mail.
If everyone was as honest, it would
be a better world. After supper
I went to Fairall's office. It
commenced raining after dark.
