A garbled 19th or early 20th century diary style snippet describes events around 9:30 a.m. including a hospital, a fire, and various unnamed people.

Smelting Among the Indians in North Carolina

Logan notes an Indian metal smelting method using a stone basin charcoal and reed blowpipes to heat and melt gold and copper into ornaments. The process, practiced by tribes near gold producing lands in North Carolina, supports Lawson’s claim that Indians knew of valuable gold and silver mines in the region.
