Thursday 10 February
A soft warm morning, fog
so thick cant see the barn. Charley Woodman
gone to Kingston started at 6 am. Wells Sr
came in from barn says they are coming for I
hear Mart whistling, they came at 7 am.
Wallace drunk, came home with them, think
the boys had all been drinking. They drove to
Franks where they deposited Wallace till he
sobers up. Hattie went to bed, slept till dinner
time. Mart went to bed after sitting around with
his head hanging down on his shirt front, pipe
bottom side up in his mouth, eyes read as coals
which speaks bad for Martin: Grace and Edna
sitting up to make Graces' masquerade dress
for tomorrow evening but after dinner tired
nature asserts itself and they both tumble
fast asleep and I drive them both to bed.
Edna didnot sleep long but was out in
short time and sewing again. Grace laid
till nearly supper time, after supper the
girls sewed till 10 pm. Poor dear little
Edna the best child living. Volty went
to Kingston for a masquerade suit did not
get any going again early tomorrow morning.
