Rode out in the morning with Mrs. Cranch. It rain'd hard all the afternoon—chilly
north-east wind. The fruits of the earth are at this time extremely backward, on account
of the little heat, and the great rains that have prevailed this summer. The productions
of our lands require frequent, rather than plentiful rains, and great heat, as the
summers are so short.
