much all day. Dad. wrote to Dick this morning and Frank and I got things ready to make a cement post. After dinner I sat down to read the paper and went to sleep and slept for over an hour or two, but there was nothing else much to do. Frank fixed the binder. They said that for awhile when I was asleep it got almost as dark as night. About four o'clock Frank and I went out and made another post. I had to go up to Ham Thompson's with Elyitha to-night. Frank took milk to Aunty Alice.

I made some more reinforcement wires and got some sand over to make another post. but didn't get the wire up. Frank and I went down town to-night.
