Ther. FRI. MAR. 17th, 1899 Wind
Clear & bright all day, but
rather colder. I went to mill
& to Henderson's house for the
papers, also to P.O. & received
"blanks" from Milo B. Stephens
& Co in Washinbgton, which I took
to A. F. Fairall Esq to have executed
& witnessed but Frank
T. Leizear Sr & Jos. L Tirrell.
The papers relate to my claim
for increase of pension from
the U. S. and will go to Washington
by tomorrow morning's
mail. This has been an unusually
fine day for "St Patrick's
day", which is supposed to be
stormy & disagreeable.
The wind however has changed
since morning from N.W. to E.
and by tomorrow morning it
may be almost any kind of
weather.

Charles Adams was here for
advice & medicine for his child
again. I went to the P.O. and
to Fairall's Office. Towards
evening I was called in to see
and prescribe for Frank Leizear Sr, who was suffering
with abdominal pain &
nausea. I went again to the
store & P.O. after dark. Edwd
went next door to play whist
with Miss Mary Fowler. It is
still drizzling, damp and
disagreeable.
