"Chronicles of Upper Burnet" (1)

1881

Friday, February 11th.

It was raining again this morning but stopped and re­
mained cloudy till three o'clock when it began in showers
again Father went off a horseback to attend Bill Harris's
sale1l4 and was gone till two o'clock. I wandered down the creek
to Bain's drift, could'n't get across. I trudged up to Foster's, saw
Bill Hand and him heading for the woods across the creek
followed them over there and helped them for three hours or
more than came home. Alvin squizzed most of the time, took I
believe one "jook" to the creek.
