The Club met at Avon
Aug.26 th 1882, where we were welcomed
by our own genial host inhischaracteristic
style that makes every one feel at home. --
We organized with [T?]. J. Lea as
foreman, there being present 7 of our
most enterprising members, with
Wm Coffin of New York , Roger Brooke
W. E. Muncaster & Alban Brooke as guests.
The meeting was not as large
as some, but it was both pleasant &
instructive. ----- After reading the minutes
of the last meeting held here, we started
out for a short walk, passing through
the beatiful flower garden, we proceeded
to the spring house to see the new
and complete water Ram, which was
butting away as regularly as a clock ticks
sending up the hill to the house a constant
supply of fresh June water. ----
The vegetable garden showed unmistakeable
signs of constant attention, and was
supplying all needed vegetables, in the hot
bed there was growing as fine a plant of the long
rooted Canada hog thistle as we had ever seen. ---
On our way to the cornfield we stopped at
the Stable to see a splendid Percheron horse
our enterprising host, had purchased from
Pennsylvania, last spring, for breeding
purposes,. -- The large field of corn certainly
promised a fine yield. ----

In line 1, # '126' is stamped in the color charcoal grey on the upper left-hand corner of the page.
In line 3, 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 5, 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 13,21,26,31 and in line 32 there are 2 lines that come together at the ends leaving a small oblong circle between them. These lines can be straight or start straight and slope some and even hook at the end.
In line 12, the words 'pleasant &' are connected by pen but separated by space. There are usually several instances of words being connected but separated in this writer's writings. When there is space between them I will not make any further note of the connectivity.
