Magnolia 7th Mo. 8th 1882
One week after the appointed
time the Club met at WmS . Bonds. --
We organized at 5-30 Oclock with
P. [?]. Stabler as foreman.
Granville Farquhar, [?]. J . Lea , WmS.Brooke
& R. B. Farquhar were absent. --
R. P. M cFarland was the only visitor present.
After reading the minutes of the last
meeting held here, we started out for a
short walk . -------
The beautiful flower garden was much
admired by some members, while others
talked politics . ----
We next visited the Silo , that had been
built since our last meeting here, and
had proved to be a satisfactory experiment.--
The building was 33 feet long , 8 feet wide &16 deep.
The crop of wheat just harvested bid fair
to make a good yield, and the hay which
was being Ricked was a fine crop.------
The corn looked well , and the farm
was pronounced to be in much better condition
than when it was worked by a tenant . ----
One of the members being late we
did not visit the Mill, but were informed
that it was making full time , having a
large stock of saw bone on hand .----
After the minutes of last meeting were read
and adopted. 8 Members paid in $ 3.70 to help
defray the expense of [D".?]Lemays lecture.

On line 1, # '124' is stamped in charcoal grey on the upper left-hand corner of the page.
In line 2, there are two small marks that lie side by side on the line under the superscript.
These marks resemble periods, single quotation marks, double quotation marks, or even mini dashes, for the most part.
These marks will be present under all superscripts.
In line 4, the line at the end of the line is about 1/8 off the bottom of the line and is unbroken.
This also occurs in lines 8,12,15,18,22,25 and 29. These lines can be straight or start straight and slope some and even hook at the end.
In line 9, the superscript 'c' in the name 'M cFarland' has one dot in it instead of 2.
In line 30, the last letter of the last word appears to have been overstruck.
