The Club organized in good
time with Wm W. Moore as foreman
[?]. J . Lea & A.M.Stabler the only members
absent., -- their places being filled
by eight visitors present by invitation
of our hospitable host. ---
After reading the minutes of the
last meeting held here we were invited by
our foreman to take a walk , and before
we got back, some of us began to think
our foreman judged the others by himself
it being very little trouble for him to walk
a long distance in a short time .
We first inspected the elegant Cellar
under a model Houde. --
The ice house had been inproved by
taking off the shingle roof and putting on Rye
Straw , which our host informed us had made
it keep the ice 2 months longer than it had
previously done, So the Club decided they had
learned a greatdeal about how to build Ice
houses in the future .------
In taking our long walk we found the numerous
fields we passed over to be in fine condition,
showing plainly the benefit of the free use of lime. --
A communication sent to the Secty. by Caroline
H. Miller in regard to the proposed Garfield hospital
was read , but the Club decided not to take
any action upon it, S. Hopkins contributed $1.00
which was forwarded by the Secty. -----

On line 1, # '134' is stamped in the color charcoal grey on the upper left-hand corner of the page.
In line 4, 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 6, the line after the word the last word in the sentence 'absent' is about 1/8 off the bottom of the line and is unbroken.
This also occurs in lines 8,17,24 and 27. These lines can be straight or start straight, slope some, and even hook at the end. Some resemble a Nike swoosh. The lines are drawn after the end of a sentence. Occasionally there will be just one dash, which would not appear in the lines noted here.
