Shot showed the first signs of Dispointing, making quite a "draw" on the spot when a Bird went up. July 16 came out of the city at 1 and drove up to the Warren farm with Charlie Gaston. We did not beat over fifteen minutes when a heavy shower struck us and we had to return drenched to the Inn; in that time farmers we mowed all the ground where I left them did, Sat. night. and I think they must have either found their ground or been killed off. Henry Hunsbaw started this morning for Salt Lake City. July 19 Started from Cambridge at 8 This morning drove down to Rye. The day was cool and pleasant with a N wind. Reached Andover by 12, put up my horse at the Elm town Stable I took dinner with my aunt; started again by 4 and got into Amesbury about 7.30. Chas.
