Monday, Nov 3, 1834: This forenoon a drover from near New York called and offered fifteen dol per head for a part of my cows such as I would choose to sell, but it was not high price as I wanted. This afternoon I walked over to Claudius Moffett’s to Election. I put in a Jackson vote and I paid Mr. Dabill 62 cts, which pays him up for the cheese hoops he made for me last summer. This evening I walked to Hazard Morey’s and paid him up the note and interest which was thirty five dol and 25 cts.
Tuesday: This afternoon I drew two loads manure on the hill and I broke the axletree. I had my small wagon. Tonight I am quite unwell with a cold and I took phisic.
Wednesday: I am quite unwell. I rode to Lebanon to Doc Right’s and got a puke and this evening I took said puke.

Friday: I am some better of my cold. This forenoon I pinned on a piece to my axletree and this afternoon took said single wagon and carried my wife to Lebanon.
Monday: This evening I walked over to Mr. Abraham Winston’s and got a side of shoe leather. Mr. Winston went down in the lot and got me some brook lime to put into rum to take for the Sathume on my hands. Today I lent James Adams Jnr one hundred and eighty dollars and took a note on interest for one year.

Mother gave Wm a featherbed and a coverlet and I gave him about sixteen pounds of cheese, and I rode along with Wm to Mr. James Adams and said Adams paid him up for his farm. (two days earlier, George lent Adams the money to buy Wm’s farm) William gave me his old sled and small notions and I returned home when William and his wife went on to Hoosic, and I drew out manure.
Thursday: I drew out manure.
