I spent the day scraping in the office Robert set post & made
a fence on the East end of my orchard garden of Pinepost
I had a talk with F. D. Richards upon the propriety of
puting a stop to the trespassing upon our fields by
the men & boys as they have done heretofore. I spent
the evening at home And commenced a Journal for
My son wilford.
