Jr. was also here to see about
my having a horse for sale.
Towards evening Willie brought
Edward home from "Fairfield"
where he had been helping him
in his weave room. I walked
down to John Round's before
supper. Willie went back to
"Fairfield" before supper.

Dull & cloudy this morning

spend the night expecting to go
with Edwd. tomorrow to Washington
and take the "Frank" horse
