The weather is fine again and we are making some progress in our harvest. Henry has been helping us again to day. I have hired a man (House) to cut the new Ground Barley by the job. He comenced today. We have been drawing from the ten-acre-field to day. I have met with a loss lately. Old Nell's colt, a yearling, some how or other got cast{?} under the fence along the creek and in getting up kicked himself fence and all into the creek, where the colt drowned.
