We are at our manure hauling still. I felled{?} the lach{?} for ma this morning and went to Dover afterwards after Mary Jane. The roads are very muddy. Though my desire continually is to lead a holy life yet "while I would do good evil is present with me". I am sometimes discouraged but O there is an all sufficiency of grace for all my need. What a joy! He is my reffuge from the storms{?} and ills{?} of life. My experience to day has been variable and unsatisfactory.

Our manure hauling still progresses slowly. I have been working myself at hoeing corn most of the time. But as we have had visitors, Mrs. Laings{?} and Mrs. Hall, my time was partially taken up in their company. "Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High. And call upon me in the day of trouble I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify Me." To do his commands is my hearts desire in all things for His precepts are my delight.
