Saturday 8 August 1908
A beautiful morning, cool and clear.
Bob and Voltie gone to Kingston,
drove up. They experienced some trouble getting
ready to start. V couldn't find his bullet headed
colar button, and his shirt was not right
all wrong. Bob had a great hunt for
his coat and at last remembered that he had
left it over at Arthur Vincents hanging on a peg in their
kitchen; then couldn't find their "terbacky" and
had to hunt around for their pipes. Bob wore V's
coat, V wore dad's collar button, they found
their pipes & "tobacy". Bob couldn't find his collar
button and his sleve buttons are missing and
his shirt was not in good order and they
blamed it all on the women folks, but at
last they are gone rattle to bang up the
road they go and we have not had any
breakfast only V and Bob Sr and reginald
are feed and we are glad they are gone
and wish they had taken young Bob Jr with
them for he does nothing but squall all the
time, and now the kids are fishing in front
of the house. Bobbie comes running to the house
