Woodman in the road leaning
on the fence and watching the boys
turning over the furrows of his new
possession. And days "by swan that
fence will have to be moved for
tis right in the way " and so
Laura's garden fence has to be pulled
down. Voltie called for me at sunset
came home to find Wells Sr had gone
over the river to be gone all night.
I forgot to mention Charley Easton
here to dinner: came to invite G &
V to a dance at John Nesbit's given in
honor of Sam Nesbit. Will & Charlie Dixon
came home with us to help V do the
chores and stay to tea, then they
go to Nesbits to the party leaving Maud,
Beatrice and I alone till 1/2 past 5 a.m.
Great fiting of cats on veranda
& turn Lind [their dog] on them and they scat.
A letter from Mr Watson to Maud & I
