including that near the haunted house, & 
Wadleigh's Run. In one new to me Melvin
flushed & killed a Woodcock. This was the
only shot fired all day. We started 8 Partridges
& 7 Quail. In late P.M. we took in
Mr. Robbins & his daughter & went first 
to the Carlisle pines & next to a meadow 
near Robbin's Mill where I saw my first
