"Chronicles of Upper Burnet" (1)

Friday, October 22nd.

It rained a small shower this morning before daylight, but quit entirely about eight o clock except a couple of very
small sprinkles. Work on the building was not very much interrrupted. I chored around till after dinner when we all
three soon finished digging potatoes. I also went around and dug the few remaining sweet potatoes in Alvin's patch
together with a few Irish "taters" that had been planted there I likewise went down to where we plowed a big
patch of peach-blows40 under the clover but there was very nearly nothing there. Father went away, professedly
to Wat's, after supper
