Thursday 7^th July

Very busy now to the 16^th. On the 13^th the “Clydesdale” went to Thurso and the “Clansman” on the 16^th with the fishermen. After this the remainder of the month was very dull. Not much doing. I had now more time to see Christina. I had very little time since the fishing commenced and we agreed upon getting married. We spoke to Mrs Russell about it and she has been very favourable to it and doing all in her power to forward it. If it was not [for] her I do not see how we would get on rightly with it. Her put us on our plans and how to get on. Christina spoke to Robert about it and he was very favourable. My drawings for this past month is £393-18-3
