Tuesday 15th March 1904 The skating spoiled again; ice covered with snow. I sent the letter and order to Dr Turnoch $2,50, wrote and sent a letter to Mr Watson, and 3 New Thought Magazines and another magazine, and a letter to Sydney Flower N.Y. Sent them by L Card who has gone up with the mail as he has finished his mission of watching the property. Tis a fine day and thawing. We all go bed early Whig, Good Stories, Agriculturist, Dispatch, Heralds pictures & map

Wednesday 16 Marach 1904 Another beautiful day. Voltie goes across the river accompanied by Irene and Maud who are going to call at uncle Delavan's while V drives to Ed B's for the sourkrout that Ed promised him early in the winter, he returned at dinner time without the sourkrout or the girls. They are going to visit with Libbie B and Van brings them home near supper time. Wells Sr an Voltie begin breaking the black colt. he drives off like an old horse. Sr is going to Kingston tomorrow. 9 pm good night.

This Thursday brought a lot of groceries from town and Friends.

Thursday 3rd Sept 1914 This Thursday V went to Kingston in motor. Awoke this morning to find Grace, Bob and their four kids here enroute for Watertown N.Y. for new home. It was hustle and bustle all day getting ready to go. Grace done big washing and ironing. Bob tried to fish but not very successful, wind blew so hard but we have enough to eat without them. Our greatest want is butter which is not much from Sat night and Sunday morning cream.

Friday 4th Sept 1914 Well this is the morning that Grace, Bob, and their kids are to go over the river to Van's. V went across twice first carrying Bob, Reginald and Bob Jr. Came back for Grace and Margaret & Isabelle and loads of parcels, but no Bert there waiting for them. V came back said they all staid to dinner including Al Barry and his brother Robert from the West. Lib made an extra pie for she had only one. A very good day.

Saturday 5 Sept 1914 One day of quietness and peace tho I miss the little boys Reggie and Robbie and are lonesome without them and to think they are going away from us tho only to Watertown it seems 5 times further away than Kingston. Saturday towards night a phone from Bert and Maud to come to Cornairs for them well after supper. V goes and dont get back till after dark. A cool day some wind

Sunday 6 Sept 1914 A very quiet Sunday reading and resting, and three square meals, a doctering baby Hubert and listening to a great lot of news gossip and scandal that ever happened in Jeff Co, N.Y. Oh I hate it

Monday 7 Sept 1914 Bert and Voltie building fence all day boring post holes. Hubert is better gave him a lot of catnip tea and scalded milk. Maud dont look very well, she is so thin as a spindle and fat as a match every day

Tuesday 8 Sept 1914 A very good day. Bert an Voltie work at the fence all day. Maud and Emma do some work and keep every thing humming. I write a letter to Wellie. Lots of fish and eggs. Mail a card from Wellie, Standard and Globe Wellie said he saw John in Watertown
