[Left margin: Distemper Filly Dead]This morning I did not get out verry early the boys had gone
to work. My little sick filly was down & could not get up in
the Shop where I was keeping her. I tryed for several hours
to git some one or two to help me and failed, at last George
Hargroves came & made him take an axe & knock her in the head
She might or might not have got well I thought it best not to be
troubled any longer with her. She had the distemper or
Glanders & I wanted to get clear of her. After it was all
over I regretted it verry much, she was verry fine & finely
bread, it wraught verry much upon my feeling after she was
killed. It is the 1st animal I ever had killed & I think it
will be the last.
