7 Fri

morning breezy fires about during night fires
were seen on Gosling’s hill—and fire in my bush
in the glen and among the manukas—but none
near the old house which was a blessing—Gosling
hedges were on fire—I was in fear of the school house
but it has as yet escaped—the night calm may God preserve
us during night from fire
