June 23 – Wed. –
A.M. B & I to Loblaws – then to E.A. [East Aurora] so I could make some notes of the church (for the plate design) – then to Williston for cheese – the countryside still beautiful in spite of the drought
Some wheat ripening already –
Package from Denver – cuff links & the clasp which Kennie had made – enamel on copper – very beautiful –
