September SATURDAY 19 1896

On account of rain this forenoon we could not work out of doors & so have been engaged at inside work. Weather started to clear up this afternoon so we started for my wife's fathers in Wyecombe at about four o'clock. Had a successful trip although very disagreeable on account of a strong N.W. wind that had to face on the way up.

September SUNDAY 20 1896

We have been spending the day with Mr and Mrs Ferguson, my wife and I. Went to church this afternoon and enjoyed the service very much. The Good Lord has been very near us in all our association to day, makeing our hearts glad with his presence. We started for home at about six o'clock this evening, and arrived in due course finding all well.
