This morning we made out our monthly reports and sent them in. Then took a walk down to the Eden River and studied till noon. Coming home, we had dinner then got ready and started for Wetherel, a distance of five miles out of Carlisle to visit Bro. and Sis. Porter. The walk was fine. All along the road going out, the farmers we[re] harvesting their grain. It was a great sight to see them. Some cut their grain with the scythe and others with a mowing machine and had boys and girls employed to bind it by hand. Others had self binders. They would not wash the grain, but would glean it very clean. After spending a nice afternoon and evening at Porters, we came home.

Monday, August 7, 1905. Carlisle. Rainy.
Today is a holiday in England, known as Bank Holiday. We could not do much work as the people were more or less pleasure seeking. So we decided to accompany the Saints to Corby Castle, but it began to rain in so much our plans fell to the ground and we sought refuge from the rain. We spent the day very pleasant at Sister Atkinson's where quite a number of the young people gathered. We played games, partook of refreshments, had music and singing. In the evening, came home and went to bed.
