The old question of how to make an ice
house was again asked and the answer reduced
down to the same as of old, namely: to line inside
with boards.

We were now invited out to supper after
which the rain having subsided we walked
out upon the premises.

The garden was quite
presentable for this season having rather more
vegetables than weeds which is not the case
every where this year. Our host looked to see
his new dairy and water works which he is
pushing forward to completion. They may
well be [?] the Foumiount of Sandy
Spring. He will undoubtedly succeed in
the undertaking of rendering the house [?] of
gravitation and philosophy conducive to the convenience
of his new housekeeper.

The stock were on fine pasture and looked
well. Some members thought the grain stacks
would take water others amused themselves conjecturing
the amount of grain they contained.

We walked across the orchard but it
was too dark to see much. We smelt a
large crop of very fine [?] which will
probably pay out the owner this winter quite handsomely.
After returning to the house we spent
several minutes in interesting conversation when
we adjourned to meet at white hall at the
usual time next month.
