CLIMATE, SEASONS, &C. Part 



a great cause of this. I live on Sallad 

 other garden vegetables, apple puddings 

 and pies, butter, cheese (very good from 

 Rhode Island), eggs, and bacon. Resolv- 

 ed to have no more fresh meat, 'till cooler 

 weather comes. Those who have a mind 

 to swallow, or be swallowed by, Jlies may 

 eat fresh meat for me. 

 Aug. 18. Fine and hot. 



19. Very hot. 



20. Very hot ; but a breeze every day and 



night. Buckwheat, sown 23d July, 9 



inches high, and, poor as the ground was, 

 looks very well. 



21. Fine hot day. 



22. Fine hot day. 



23. Fine hot day. I have now got an English 

 woman servant, and she makes us famous 

 apple puddings. She says she has never 

 read Peter Pindar's account of the dia- 

 logue between the King and Cottage wo- 

 man ; and yet she knows very well how 

 to get the apples within side of the paste, 

 N. B. No man ought to come here, 

 whose wife and daughters cannot make 

 puddings and pies. 



24. Fine hot day. 



25. Fine hot day. 



26. Fine hot day. 



27. Fine hot day. Have not seen a cloud for 

 many days. 



28. Windy and rather coldish. Put on cotton 

 stockings and a waistcoat with sleeves. 

 Do not like this weather. 



29. Same weather. Do not like it. 



30. Fine and hot again. Give a great many 

 apples to hogs. Got some hazlenuts in 

 the wild grounds. Larger than the Eng- 

 lish ; and much about the same taste.
