Date: 20 Jan 2024 10:42 pm (UTC)I heard of him for the first time in the fall when a mostly off-DW friend was e-mailing me excerpts from his diaries in a kind of irregular newsletter fashion! I enjoyed them very much! I am delighted by your local connection. I assume you saw he was played on the radio by Ronald Pickup?

Wm Frost and Mr Ament carrying apples to the cart for cyder. They are taken down to Hewlett’s to be made through his hair cloths which is not the fashion of this county. Mr. Amen thinks it is impossible for the cyder to be good as it is not made after the fashion of the county.
