278 Thursday July 1, 1910 Weather perfect. +50 15 +60 We are having warm, summer days, and there is no sign of a change. # & Post this much hoped for month has come. I am well on the way toward completion of my packing. The ice is as far out as ever but in the harbor it is covered with pools. The river is running full force. E & and T left yesterday for a week at the lake. Monday July 5-1910 Weather cold - N.W. wind to S.W. & cloudy. Young ice formed today & last night over the pools. The change is unpleasant after the past few days which were 'scorching' hot. Jot, Hal & Moe left this P.M. for Littleton Island. Actually Sheo, Simpson, Almadroak & Ahmawee accom- pained them. They plan to take the day & leave the bags at Simmie Point. Jerome and I are alone once more though I, at least, am very contented. Sis Tank are still at the lake. Abderkashiqwish & Aninyush, each with their children are the only others left here. The ice still holds ito there is a good deal of water on the shore in front of the house. I have nearly finished my packing.
