"80 in the shade. At Owanka. We spent most of yesterday in walking around. Went up to Smiths in the aft for butt milk and eggs. Today we were up about half past six. Went up to the site of the new hotel where four men are at work. Rode over to Crane Is . With Mr. Sampson who was on his way to Mound City. The ice is still very firm except at the shore where it has melted out a few feet. Mr. Hall came out this morn and ate dinner with us. We made an early start for the train which was delayed 40 minutes. Reached home 7:30. "
