MONDAY, MAY 16, 1870.
We finished harrowing the field in front this forenoon and this afternoon commenced on our last field the New Ground. I spent most of the forenoon looking and enquiring after a girl but my efforts, so far as I could see, were fruitless. By our girl leaving us we are left in a helpless fix. Mother is not at all able to do our work, without help. Mary Jane is with us now. This is a great help for the time being but she cannot stay long.
WEDNESDAY, MAY 17, 1870.
I sowed a part of the new ground to day and we got it nearly harrowed in. This afternoon mother and I went off in search of a girl. I left her at Jarvis and went on down to Dick's. Found some consolation in the prospect of geting one of their girls to help us. One Says: --"In heaven, all Gods servants will be satisfied with his dealings and dispensations with them, and shall see how all conduced like so many winds to bring them to their haven; and how even the roughest blasts helped to bring them homeward".
