  Clear & cool with raging N. W. [northwest] wind
(the sky cleared at sunrise after
heavy rain all last night)
  Spent day working with the men
(two of O'Connor's men, James

work thoroughly & it takes a bit
of time I find. Birds very scarce.
I noted nothing of any interest.

Brilliantly clear with violent

Spent the forenoon working

side of the river which I propose
carrying back nearly to the boat house.
James & Harry worked to-day on 
the [?] hills canals.
