James Roger diary entry - Forest fires

22nd (Tuesday)

Cool morning warm muggy.  Smokey, dusty day and (wind) S.E.  David at Ashburnham for Mr. Walker.  I chored round. Doing little odd jobs. Made boiler cover, cut weeds, tended cows &c.  Another destructive fire in Chelsea yesterday, and forest fires all around.  Long drought severely felt all over New England.  Gave W. Thayer my annual dues as a member of Village Improvement Society.
