THURSDAY, JUNE 23, 1870.

The boys are at the same work yet. I have been busy geting ready for haying, which I want to commence to morrow. Mother has had a lot of visitors to day. My sister and Mrs. George Hall; Mrs Wilkinson and Mrs Tisdale. This is accounted for, partly by our having plenty of strawberries. In reviewing the religious experience of the past day I see nothing that I have cause to regret having done neither do I feel condemned for having gone astray from following the Master. It is all by divine grace.

FRIDAY, JUNE 24, 1870.

The boys have been drawing out manure to day as usual. This afternoon Mother and I went up to Simcoe and came back by Dover. I mailed a little note to F. M. S. while in Dover. We had a couple of pumps put in this morning. One in the well by the door and the other in the cistern at the barn. This is a great convenience which I don't see how we have got along such a great while without. I am geting ready now for a trip down to the {illegible} W. F. College.
