Monday, April 22, 1833: This morning at eight o’clock I got to Greenbush and sold my calves to one Mr. Drum at two dol and 25 cts apiece, seven calves of them and I carried three new skim cheeses and sold them at five cts apiece and I got two dol and 65 cts for the cheese and I bated my horses to Smith’s tavern. I then walked to Albany while my team was a bating. I passed the river without paying, I got onto a wagon crossing both times. I bought twelve fresh shad and paid 84 cts.

Tonight at ten I start for Troy with three calves and half a barrel apple sauce. Tonight quite rainy.
Monday: This morning at daylight I only got to John Babcock’s tavern. It being quite rainy, I paid four cts for liquor to said tavern and went on in the rain.

Quite rainy today.
Tuesday: This morning I paid six cts for my lodging and six cts for my toddy last night, and I came on to Sand Lake and bought tea with my victuals to Sliter’s, and then came on to Samuel Holcombs and took dinner.
