We have had two heavy rains
from S.E. to day & considerable lightning
& thunder. I went (on horseback) over to
see old Louisa Bowen again before
dinner. Used Paris green & plaster
on the potatoes again: the former dose
however has killed nearly all the "bugs."
After supper Edwd went with the next
door friends to Mrs S Ellicotts to a
"Tackey" party. Dora not well enough
to go. They were all dressed in some
outlandish style.

A thunder gust passed north of us
last night giving us some rain. I drove

medicine which I took to the P.O. & left it for
her there. Afternoon Edwd & Dora took the
"Surry" & with a party from next door and
