Mrs Snooke has gathered-in all her apples, & pears: her fruit is finely flavoured in such hot years.  Mrs Snooke’s black grapes begin to ripen.  No wasps here.  The distress in this place for want of water is very great:  they have few wells in this deep loam; & the little pits & ponds are all dry; so that the neighbours all come for water to Mrs Snooke’s ponds.
