Saturday 25

The morning is cloudy & raining slowly. The rain is coming form
the East.
William did not come home last night. he left to go to a sale
at Blackwoods in the S.W. of the County on Wednesday the 22d
& has not yet returned. I fear there is something wrong with
him if he dont come tonight or we get no word we must find
his whereabouts. I got of Jack Patton 2 loads of Corn tops
& stalks that was no account only for fodder. One of the loads
is Jack Pattons & the other mine. put it all in my Crib. Jack
has kept two loads to pay for it, & I am to account to him for
it. George H. has halled & put in my Crib 560 bundles of foder
the half is his. I agree to take his part & pay him $1.50 per
