Pleasant. I rode over to Adin’s this morning with George Swan. Came back with Will Swan. He had been to Ringwood after May, went yesterday. Henry Swan and Carrie Lord took tea here. She is a wild piece. I hardly know what to think of her. She does not seem to care much for her husband and children. Mother Swan is over to Ade’s.
