=== MONDAY, JULY 25, 1870. === We had another rain last night & yesterday. The ground has been so wet that we could scarcely work the reaper this afternoon. We made out to cut most of a five-acre field of barley however. Henry turned out the barley in the field by McBrides, & we hope to get it in to morrow. Our girl Lizzie{?} Leffler went home to day but Fanny Banister came in her place soon after or rather before she went. Our harvest this year is not so heavy as last but the wet weather makes it tedious work. === TUESDAY, JULY 26, 1870. === We have been able to draw in barley this afternoon. Got in four loads besides one load of wheat from the orchard. To night it has every appearance of rain, but I hope it will not come this time. Charley has been helping Tisdale most of the day. In reviewing my Christian experience for the past day I see much to feel sorry for that I have done, both in thought, word, and deed. This is too much the way with me continually. What a mercy if I get to heaven after all my {illegible}.
