Cloudy - warm. Went to Riverton and saw bricklayers. They cannot undertake our work - having too many jobs already on hand. Colonel Dodd came to estimate amount of land damaged by railroad on the 5 places. Went to Orange Grove. Taking down pan.
Wrote Mr. Beirne about brick work and work generally at Riverton. Wrote Mr. Chiapella to enquire in New Orleans for competent bagasse burner builder and to try and get Indian pot (found in Indian burying ground) from railroad. It was dug up on Clark some short time ago. Wrote Richie in reply that we had escaped the cyclone. Wrote Nanny. Wrote Sally.
