The poor make quite a second harvest by gathering of acorns.  Timothy Turner has purchased upwards of 40 bushels.  Two truflers came with their dogs to hunt our hangers, & beechen woods in search of truffles; several of which they found in the deep narrow part of the hill between coney-croft-hanger, & the high wood; & again on each side of the hollow road up the high-wood, known by the name of coach-road.
