Fri. May 31^st, 1895

Another extremely hot day.
Chas E Bond came to the office to
consult me for a "sore throat" which
seems to be epidemic just now.
Edwd's throat is rather better, if he
will only be prudent & take care
of himself. After noon I was called
to prescribe for Emory Snowden's
little boy, also with a very sore
throat. Edwd went to a "pic nic"
on the river this afternoon against
my advice & judement; he took
Frank Robison in the phaeton.
It was too hot to sleep well last night.
Edwd & Frank Robison got home at
about 10.o'clk p.m.

Ther. 80^o Clear Wind N.W.
Saturday, June 1^st

Still another hot day, thermometer was
higher early this morning than it has been
before. I drove to Brighton & Fairfield &
home to dinner. I washed the phaeton.
Took hitching rein & bridle to Oldfields'
to be mended. Willie & Fanny came to
spend the night arriving about 5.o'clk
p.m. This has been the hottest day so far
98^o in the shade in many places. 93 was
the highest by our thermometer.

Ther. 80 Clear Wind N.W.
Sun. June 2^d, 1895

Still hotter than yesterday. 94^o in
the shade on office porch where there
was no reflection. It was 102^o on
Henderson's kitchen porch at 3.o'clock.
Willie & Edward took the Robison
boys to the river for a "Swim." They
came home in time for dinner. I
went to meeting we had a sermon
from Edwd Farquhar. Afternoon I
went up to Henderson's for the papers.
Billy Oldfield's wife sent for ice for
her sick boy. W & Fanny went to "Fairfield"
after supper. The "Weather Bureau" in
Washington states that there is no record
of such hot weather at this season
of the year, (the last of May & first of
June.)

Ther. 80 Clear Wind N.W.
Monday 3^d

Hot weather continues, but it
look & feels as though we would have
a thunder gust soon, which may make
it cooler. Edwd Easton cut part of the rye
before breakfast. Tilghman Mitchell came
& cut the ballance with a cradle, after
which he plowed & harrowed the ground
we intend to plant in corn & vegitables.
Mitchell finished by noon.
