6th Mo 16th 1866

We met at White Hall where all of our members were
present except T J Lea, Wm S Bond, E P Thomas, & Wm W Moore,
& we had Walter H Brooke as guest. Roger B Farquhar was
appointed foreman, on account of his known energy & the size
of our host's farm; & under his guidance we walked out to see the
objects of interest, & first among these was a forty acre field of oats
which looked very promising: next we came to the barn which
was very much admired on account of the substantial manner in
which it was built; a threshing machine was noticed which seemed
to be in readiness for threshing the coming crop: consideraable
discussion was had as to the relative strength of certain timbers
in the barn but we had finally "to agree to disagree."
