Gathered-in the Swan’s egg, autumn-burgamot, Cresan-burgamot, Chautmontelle, & Virgoleuse pears: a great crop.  The Swan-eggs are a vast crop. A wood-cock was killed in Blackmoor-woods; an other was seen the same evening in Hartley-wood.

Martins cling, & cluster in a very particular manner against the wall of my stable and brew-house; also on the top of the may-pole.  This clinging, at this time of year only, seems to carry somewhat significant with it.

Mr Randolph left us.  The autumn-sown spinage turns-out a fine crop: but it is much too thick. We draw it for use.
