Thursday August 17th

Emery did not come to-day so Daddy and I worked around cleaning up all day. This morning we got some lumber out of the old box stall doors to make mangers with and after dinner we hauled out a lot of the old shingles & rubbish in front of the horse stable and piled it out with the brush to burn. We also put in a few more posts the fence and got another load of rails. The old wind mill came uncoupled some where down in the well last night and Dick went down with Edith & B this morning to get Felix but he could not cme to-day as he was going up to hear Mr. Bordenspout to-night.
