Along with weather reports and more. "I was at school at Torrington 1818" shows up along with dates 1828, 1829, 1830. "In the summer of 1828 I went to Yonkers and spent the summer months. Returned to New York went to Board with Halsey in Church Street...." He travels about New York (Lower East Side streets make a sweet appearance), New Jersey, speaks of going to New Orleans. Store and shoemaking in CT it seems. Music - a great deal about harmony, modulation, cadences, concert at a church, &c.
