Manapla Tuesday July 10th

Hot all day and no rain. We are getting around to the northerly end of the island where they don't have much rain. We ran two miles of levels over some of the worst country I ever saw. Covered with tall grass and large buried stumps and all full of deep ravines. Got some fine sugar at a hacienda on the way in. Mr. Farnham made the first projected location. Didn't sleep well at night, laid awake until after twelve thinking of the folks at home. Wish I could get some word from Pa.
