June 16th Spent a tolerable good night. Bro. H. C. Barrell has
acted somewhat curiously. The well borers & fence makers are
busy at their work & my man George was working alone digging post
holes & setting posts. I asked Bro Barrell to help him by holding the posts while
George filled & pounded around them. he did so, but commenced
finding fault & saying he was not hired to set posts &c & complained
of my wife & members of my family & I concluded I did not need his sirvices ^&^ so
told him, & said he could attend to his previous labors and I would get along.
I went to the office and attended to business, and returned in the afternoon.
The well drivers struck a ^good^ stream of water, but it tasted so strong of sulphur, I con-
cluded to have them drive further in hope of getting good water
