Henry Wells Spear's Writings
Sample -
Monday, January 3, 1881
Moderate, some light snow
Started the mill at 12 and again before daylight. wheat grists are being taken away which have lain here a long time unground.
Theo Cobb came after my calf offering [4 and there 5$(?)] for it. I took till afternoon to let him know and meanwhile weighed the calf live, 155 lbs. It would dress over 100 and is quoted 7-10. Offered him the calf at 6.00 and he took it conditionally on sale of cow.
Attended special school meeting at the Academy. It was a business men's circus. Two hours of more of filibustering, one vote taken and 4 votes recorded all on the affirmative!
Attended Wk. of Pr. Brown in lead and it moved off better than last night.
He is quite gifted in prayer and exhortation and of an excellent spirit. 35 out tonight.
