and Daddy took Ginger and Joe out and mowed. Bill and I cocked up. About three Huby came out. It looked very stormy and and sprinkled a little so Daddy cocked up some and then thought he would cut it any way and if it rained we could shake it up. We went on cocking up and finished all that was ready about five. Bill mowed with Harry and Belle till after tea and then Daddy went out and is there yet. (about dark). Huby and I walked up the fence along the gully and he figured on where to plant some yrees next spring. Then we came up and he sat out in front with his feet in the pear tree watching for a rig to take him home butas none passed he stayeds to tea and went down with Bill after wards.

Dick andf I did the chores to-night as Daddy was mowing.{Margin note} I got a letter from Aunty to-day. Bill got one from Jack Paine telling him he wanted him at the Point from. Friday till Monday. Of course he will go.

It has been cooler to-day souwest wind changing to nor'west.
