Stopped at Camptown and shot 5 quail. Went same evening to Chatham. Shot next day and bagged 25 birds; viz., 2 Partridges, 11 cock, 12 quail. Of the 30 I got 16. This time shot very well. Had my new dog called Brant. As far as I could judge from one trial he pleased me very much; think he is an uncommonly good dog, beautiful in action and very obedient. The day uncommonly pleasant, rather too warm. Twice this day killed 2 quail with one barrel, rather unusual. Up to this time I have bagged this summer & fall Partridge, Wood cock, quail & a very few snipe, also rail, in all 181 [birds]."
