"Went down town this afternoon and found out what a stamping pad for tinting my map would cost. Walked down to the river to see the new pier. It is only a few feet above water and the work is slow as all the stone and mortar has to be hauled out on the bridge and then lowered by derrick. The wind has been blowing a gale nearly all day and the streets were quite dusty although only yesterday it rained hard. This is the first real summery day we have had for some time. "
