Merritt Haviland had some corn land he wants to
set to grass. What kind shall he sow and
how much? Charlie says 17th of Timothy and
3 quarts of Alsace.

Kate Thomas reports that John cut
thirty tons of hay from ten acres recently
and refers to Dr. French, who not only
affirmed it but says the heaviest was left.
That is that which was not cut was
heavier than the average.

Arthur Stabler passed around for inspection
an interesting legal document, duly signed by
"H. Howard" in June, 1816, transferring for
four hundred dollars his "right to one share
in the Brookeville Nail Factory to John
Brooke." This H. Howard was the father of
Dr. Flodoardo Howard whom some of us hold
in grateful memory as the good physician
of a generation ago. No one present knew
the location of this nail factory in Brookeville,
or even that there was such a factory
there.

Ajourment to Haviland Mill, Aug. 22.
