Another lovely spring day. I went up
to the village & rode down to Ashton on
horseback Tillman Mitchell's son came
& plowed the lot for us, finishing before
dinner time. Afternoon I rode down to
Ashton again, Fred Iddings came for me
to go to see Bro: Richard, & I rode over there
on horseback, calling (as I returned) at
"Eldon" to enquire after Sister B . About
50 or 60 men claiming to be followers of
the "Coxey" movement are camped for
the night just below Ashton, on their way
to Washington via Rockville. Many persons
have gone to see them & hear one of them
("Jones") deliver a harrangue to such as
are willing to listen to him. I declined to give
encouragement to them even by my presence
not being an advocate of anarchy in any
form.

I walked down to Mr C M Colt's to see the
"Coxieites" encamped in & around the School
house beyond his house. One of them called to
see me professionally, he claimed to be a nephew
of old D^{r. Wm} Handy of Baltimore, who was
a brother-in law of Thos Tyson, both of whom
died years ago. The rest of them (about 50) came
along about noon: "a hard looking set & draging
a wagon with ropes, & accompanied by a bull dog
"(Coxie") who was apparently the best bred
individual of the crowd. Afternoon Alice
Peirce came walking from Homewood.
After supper "John" came & I loaned him "Frank"
to ride over to Brookeville. Jas T Henderson came
down to talk with me about the Coxey movement
he is much excited over it & believes we
will have serious times before it is put down.
