Clear, but still rough. My tenant, Mrs. Noel, giving me trouble. I shall be rid of her soon.
At my farm to help my surveyor. I fear it was too much for me, probably walked 6 miles, overheating my feet and bringing on severe fatigue, showing my age is fast overcoming me. Arriving home, found Mr. Feete's son there, who I promised to board until he gets a charge. His daughter already here,in bed with a serious pulmanary condition. She may not last long. Also, Maggie in bed with a bad throat, at present, my wife has her hands full.
