1866 Friday, January 26. Washington Iowa Snowed in the morning but cleared off warm & moderately pleasant soon after. To night it is cloudy with some prospects of a rain storm. Have accomplished literally nothing to day in the matter of the settlement for which I feel so anxious. Wrote to the Treasurer of Herrin [[ to ascertain the amount of my taxes for the year. Had quite a long talk with Col. Norwood. Capt. Eastern & the ex sheriff called to see me. Made a visit with my bro. & Sherman upon Mr. underlined in red Patterson & family taking tea there. Have just returned from making a visit to the house.
