APRIL MONDAY, 26 1886

The cool weather of yesterday has brought us another fall of rain a thunder storm this time, and more moderate temperature. I have been buisy at a great many jobs to day. Succeeded in cleaning out the black rust from our cherry and plum trees this afternoon. Do not see as they have increased although it is some years since we began fighting it.

APRIL TUESDAY, 27 1886

I went out to Dover this afternoon, partly to take the mail for Reid; but mostly to see after some other matters. Mr McPhee and Billy went to mill for me and for themselves to day. They had quite a time geting both out and in our own lane. James Holcomb and wife were here this evening after trees cherry and plum, or sprouts rather.
