The second part of the volume contains a diary he kept while at Bourbon Plantation,
near Montrose, between January and August 1843. Metcalfe apparently was managing
a plantation for his father. In the diary, he kept a record of his activities,
field work of slaves, hunting and fishing, the weather, building ditches,
the corn crop, fodder, and social events.
