1866. Wednesday, February 14. The wind has blown a gale the entire day & the snow which fell yesterday is to night in heaps. It has been very cold. Had but two meals to day because to stormy to go for them. - I have read some & made an examination of the Record of Deeds in the matter of mine against Horwortt &c. Sherman & Wm both went to see their ducks to night leaving me alone in the office. No train or mail through to day. - Have felt lonely & had the blues all day. Some times think of Dixie & wish myself back again
