Sold the year old colt to Mr Kline. Talked with Will in the evening.
******************************************************************************
Transcriber's note:
Mr. Kline could possibly be Mr. J. Sidney Kline who lives in the area, assisting his father, Colonel Philip Kline. I'm guessing the Rose family would have done business with the son, Mr. Kline, as opposed to the elder Colonel Kline.
