A.M. clear & warm. The
tail end of a thunder storm passed
at noon giving us a little rain.
Walked around Ball's Hill after

in the forenoon. Worked on my

They are simply terrible there.

best type. Walked to Birch Field at evening.
The men had much trouble watching 
the river sluice. There were crowds of
boats & people there.
