to box there with
Punkin. thene and there
was a half foolish man
who lives there and when
he boxes he just swings
his arms and if you hit
him he wouldent know
the dif. I asked him if
he had any brains and
he said no and laughed. He
always laughs after
he says anything. After
that I went skating
my skates only came
off 2 times

Sun. Jan 28, 1917
Bright and Fair. Donald
and I had a snowball
fight out in out front
yard today and Lena
Royce came up to
our house and sange
some songs. There
was one the Cry of
Rachel. It was awful
Werid and it made
me feel like going over
and help the Allies
fight the germans. They
dont know much.
I'd like to know what
is the matter with
all the kids around
here lately they
dont seem to come
down to our house
or anywhere to get
together and have
some fun but some
times I go up to their
house and when
I get up there they
have an engagement
with their girls. It
make me pretty near sick
Let 'em just wait and
they will be sorry.
any how I had some
[illegible] with donald
