"I think it was election day. I saw my first holly a mile below Woodbridge on a stream. It was 2yft a more tall, with a few berries. Yellow pines increase in number, but they're small as yet. Mostly under 6"; and I have seen two or a foot. Some 1/8's so must be handy, judging from cumber at a mill just passed. Within the last half mile it has entirely cut short leaf, but seems to like sandy ground. It is quite amazing to see the liguid amber green at Mr Easton & Phils & find at the McCann's.
