Oct 1st a plesant day my hand is better I spent the forepart of the day
compiling History In the afternoon I called upon President Young He
invited me to take a walk with him. I went with him to his new sugar
mill esstablished to go by water. it was a strong affair with a Breast
wheel. We then went to his barn to see his new Boilers they are making
them with wooden Ends but I think the Ends should have been made of
Iron. He puts two large Rods of Iron through Each End, lays a strip of cloth
in white lead between the wood & Iron & fastens it down with screws instead
of shingle nails it is made vary strong but I think nails would have done as
well. we then called to see Joseph A Youngs sick child I also examined his new
school house & barn President Young is building vary extensively He said
when his school house was done He would invite me to come & preach
in it. I returned to the Historians office at half past 3 oclock and spent
the evening compiling History
