Dec 4th 1902
Voltie 6 lbs up to date
while Whitmarsh is here for he
is more noisy than a gobbler or
a guinea fowl. George Obrien gone
to River View on skates this morn.
Volta goes to OBriens to inquire if
he is going to drive the North shore
tomorrow; if he is Voltie wants to accompany
him for our side (South) has proved unsound
for driving on ice, and out there is strength
in numbers they, with Geo Rattray will
try the expedition together. The verdict
is, if there is hard freezing, they will drive
up on ice if not they take the road
on wheels. Old man in a pucker
about Whitmarsh; noise & wants to know
if F.W. is going to send up for new
records.
I'm quite sure Sr's old records
will never be worn out while he lives
Ie for fault finding. Oh I wish he would
go visiting for week somewhere.
