We had a very light shower of rain
last night, but not sufficient to "lay"
the dust in the road: it has been
slightly cooler however. John W

for him & went with him to see Alan
Farquhar but did not find him.
Alice Peirce came & took Sister
Harriet to "Fairfield" to spend a
few days. Afternoon I went up to
Henderson's for butter for H. & the
papers. Also went in to see "Phil"
Robison again, he seems decidedly
better. Edwd is also much better.
