There were no minutes of previous meeting

Arthur Stabler & T[J?] Lea were absent,
Dr John Hardy N Miller John Thomas
and [Tarlton?] B Stabler were in
attendance as guests.
Since our last visit here our host
has had the misfortune of [losing?]
his barn by fire , however we found
him in a good humor and his
stock nicely housed in a new stable
rather nearer the house than the
old barn, built of yellow pine boards
and frame with posts set in the
ground. The building about 20 x 60 ft.
with a shed about 1[6?] ft wide & one end
& one about 12 ft [made?] the entire length.
The sheep were completely protected by
having a Temporary roof of fodder
thrown over the standing walls.
The Birch Walls of the Old barn were
pronounced to be good enough to
rebuild [inthoust?] much [rife?] [air?].
After a most excellent supper which was
[?] over by our hosts wife in her
usual cheerful & hospitable manner
we discussed the following Topics .

shall I use in renewing my barn ?
