Clear, cool.  Went to Riverton in morning.  No brick.  But we have some 50,000 from old chimney - interior brick work.  Mr. Jordan commenced laying foundation yesterday afternoon and is making good progress.  Good strong work.
Wrote a rhyming letter to Nanny and Suzy.
At Riverton and Orange Grove in afternoon.  Work at latter at a stand still for want of brick.
