#JamesBarryDiary 10/10/1876 Another very dry day and no mistake about it. Water awful indeed. I dried one grist of Oats and one of Barley I ground 2 grists of Oats - small - and 2 or 3 of Buckwheat. I am bad with the cold and worse with my arse. My bowels are much humbugged with damned stuff I took.
