Fair and warm; wind northerly. David and W. Hardy fixing up the teams, etc. for the 4th. David went to Greenville for grain and got horse shod. Roads very dusty and everyone crying for rain. I picked four fowls, and Alice and I put up the pictures in sitting room.
How old was poor Bertha when she died? How terrible for her family.
