  Cloudy most of day with S.W. [southwest] wind.
Showers in late P.M. Very mild.
  Spent most of the day on Davis's Hill
where we cut seven or eight pines
about 12 inches in diameter at the
north end of the hill. They were 
badly burnt by the fire some seven
years ago. I am using them for 
timbers for the new stable near
the cabin.

  Clear & cool with strong N.W. [Northwest] wind.
  Went to Davis's Hill again this

burned pines for the stable on
which Parker's men were worked [working] all day. 
Found a drunken man lying asleep
on the slope of the Hill. He had built
a small fire against the trunk of an oak.
He gave his name as Pat Halloran
of 30 Marion St. Lowell. We let him
go after threatening to prosecute him.
Roland Hayward arrived at 5.30 to pass
the night at the cabin.
