JUNE SATURDAY, 19 1886

I have been extremely buisy to day. Worked at McPhees cellar drain this forenoon. This afternoon I continued shearing sheep. Got five done after four or five o'clock. The weather is quite cool again since the last storm on Thursday. Forgot to say that the latter took one new house off from the foundation and laid it ten feet or more away. But little damage was done to the material however.

JUNE SUNDAY, 20 1886

Ma and I went out to Dover to meeting this morning. Our brother Calvert gave us a very interesting discourse. Had an old fashioned Class meeting afterwards. Do not like them as well as the fellowship meetings where the three classes are met in same room at the same time. We remained to Sunday-school and evening preaching. Enjoyed the day very much.
