He paid our expenses up and down from there and we were treated with more kindness and hospitality than I ever received in my life. We found all well at Westover, except my smith, Burwell, who has suffered very much with inflammatory rheumatism and is still confined with it. Harrowing corn land and preparing to lay off, etc. Fine weather. . . . 11. Wednesday. . . . Not being able to haul out our straw in time on clover, I set fire to the large rick in field so as plant the land in corn. I have ...found that unless straw is gotten out in the winter on clover it is injurious to the wheat. We burnt the straw from four or five thousand bushels wheat. . . . 24. Tuesday. Vessel arrived here last night for my corn. Put all hands to shelling it out today. Selden and Miller have sold it to Bevan and Bro. , of Petersburg, at 75 cents per bushel at landing. . . . 27. Friday. Finished shelling our sale-corn^ today by 12 o'cl. , 500 barrels. We had 550 barrels measured up for sale, but some of it was mouldy and had to throw it one side for horse corn and hogs.
