Steady rain all last night.  Gloomy - rainy - damp.  Feeling badly did not go out.  No plantation work - ground too wet.  Wish Mr. Breaux and Mr. Lawless could have finished planting before the rain.  Mr. Breaux however has planted all the land he first designed to plant - but having a surplus of seed cane desires to plant it all.
