Huby came over with Frank and me to breakfast after which Huby, Mr Millman, Orm and I left for Billington's armed with fishing tackle and arms ammunition and a spade as Paw was anxious to get some ground hogs and trout We didn't get up there much before noon and spent an hour or so hunting woodchuck. Mr. Millman killed one and shot at two others at once but they went down the hole. He also set Huby and Orm to work digging one out but that got too tiresome so we quit for dinner.

It was pretty warm all day but a cool breeze.
