July THURSDAY 23 1896

Took my last load of hay to Mr Elle's this afternoon, this makes the fourth load to him. Had a surprise to day in the arrival of Jim's father. We have had Nellie's husband with us to day also. Took him around the place this morning, and had a nice visit with him. We also road out to Dover on my load of hay.

July FRIDAY 24 1896

Got our load on the waggon this morning, but rain soon came as we drove the load in the barn until the rain ceased. Took it out this afternoon and delivered at our ministers barn. Rance Winter went up to Townsend centre to visit with R{illegible} Fonger but he found them all away. George Cutcher left us this afternoon, after an unusually short visit.
