with Mr Jester - very good. While we were thus engaged a lady came in, from across the street, & told us that Johnstown Penn. & Pittsburgh were both in flood of over 10 ft.

Went to town this morning. Did darning and nothing much but. In fact most of the day was wasted. I slept in the afternoon until tea time.

After tea we paid a few calls to
