Walker to Hagersville to-night to hear an organ in the Methodist church there. It has been a beautiful day but no wind to pump water and we are at our wit's end to know what to do as we daren't take too much out of the well it is so low and the cistern is nearly empty and we can't pump enough by hand from the well at the windmill as something is wrong with the sucker and only the windmill will pump it. It has been much milder to-day & yesterday but by no means soft.
