APRIL 1854
13 J.J. Pugh went up to Hardy & brought the P. Office down but tis doubtful whether we will get the mail in some time as Vann the contractor refuses to bring in by this place.
14 Cool again and cloudy Passed by Hardys and some of them appear to be glad that the mail boy would not bring the mail by Woodville. Hope they won't have cause to rejoice long. Nothing more. Dull living.
17th Very cold this morning. Very unlike spring am afraid the corn will rot that is planted. Very cloudy all day. Went up to Lee & Watson's stor this evening found JJ Pugh, TJ Pugh, Ed and Rob Watson, William Mallow, present also J. Lee & Saml Cox. The PO still under discussion. Vann has not yet brought the mail to Woodville and says he will not. J.Pugh will report him tomorrow again. I understand the Hardy are getting up signatures to a petition to have the mail kept at Hardy's Store, Of course I hope they will not succeed.
18th. Cold and cloudy again today, Tis said there was snow last night. Twas cold enough T.J. Pugh having understood that T.E. Hardy started to Washington City this morning to have the P.O. continued at Hardy's Store left for the same place suppose now H. will be surprised to see the squire. The heavy rain for the few days past has started the old Roanoke out again. Undersand that it is impossible to get to the ferry. The fish carts could not get over today.
