IMH 75:2 183-184

"Chronicles of Upper Burnet" (1)

1881

Wednesday March 16th.

It was raining when we awoke, and kept somewhat misty
and damp and cloudy all day. Bob Foster was here awhile this
morning, got a pair of gate hinges which had been bought for him
some time ago. I went to the camp with him, fixed things
up a little, gassed around awhile and came home. John Fowler
came about noon and borrowed the post auger. The old sow,
Keziah by name gave birth this afternoon to nine pigs. Foster
and Hand neither one worked at the wood to-day I believe. I
did not do much of anything nor in fact did any of us. I suffered
some little again from neuralgia but otherwise felt well.
