Stanley Woodman, George Woodman, Wall Niles come. They play
phonograph awhile, go to the shop to look at the launch
that V is building Then go away home or somewhere else.
Nex comes Ray McIntyre and Jim Johnson and
two Malony boys. Morris and Ed and
a lot more in another launch. Crouse and
his gang looking to buy sheep and pigs.
Well after dinner I went to bed for a nap was
soon awakened by a voice saying "Get up"
Charley and Flora are here. When I came out
found Charley, Flora, Lottie, Ada Hart and her
brother Bert Hart. Then Art Vincent and
his hired boy came. 7 beside our own family
ate supper including Johnson and McIntyre.
There was some whiskey around beside cider
in the cellar. H. Halliday persuaded Bob
to go home with him in the launch; they are
going up above the island tomorrrow to
the ducks. My opinion is, Robert had
better stay home and away from Hank's
companionship. H said he would
bring R home tomorrow evening. We will
see. At last all are gone except Lottie; she
is going to McClarens to visit Ethel whenever she can get
the oppertunity to go. Wells Sr 74 years old to day.
