Quite a pleasant day until
afternoon, and then it commenced to rain and thunder and lightning and it is
raining now.
Rob has been setting hop poles to
day, and Will is ploughing for oats. I have been sewing on my new Chemise to
day. Melia and Ma have been setting out a bed of straw.
Melia got the plants to old Mrs.
Spencer’s last night. Melia got some lawn [?] for a waist seam.

Niece Notes: With all the traveling that took place over the summer, families needed a way to set up a large number of quick and disposable beds for farmhands and guests. Straw was cheap and easy to handle!
