It was very hot today &
thunder gusts passed both north
& south of us before sunset, and
we had one here after dark.
Willie rode Frank to Brighton
to church after dinner & came
home after supper, just in time
to escape the storm with which
there was some hail. I wrote to
F. Tyson & also to T.H. Borden.
After I had gone up stairs to retire,
"Phil" Robison came to put
Mrs: Ellicott's horse in our stable

E's bringing his aunt Mary & his
sister home from spending the
day there: they having expected to
walk home, but the storm came
up & Mrs E loaned them the horse
& carriage.
