Monday 17th 1908
A cloudy morning looks like rain
but it dont rain. While we were washing dishes
Mr Taggart came driving in here bringing his
daughter our little school teacher; he stays
to dinner. Voltie not very well, leaves his
work in field cutting peas and comes home
he is so thirsty, he's down awhile, plays
phonograph for Taggart and has not
gone back to his work cutting peas. Next comes
Merrit Daily garrulous as an old biddy.
He has borrowed a book, a magazine
the Peoples Magazine. I hope he will
bring it back. Well I am glad he is gone
at last. Miss Taggart came home early
at 1/2 past 4 p.m. afraid of thunder and
lightning. I borrowed ,50 cts of Wells. I
had a big search for a suit of underclothes
of Sr didnt find them.

Wallace borrowed V's boat to go fishing
around the foot to Dick Hallidays coming
back tomorrow. V goes to look for help
& I draw and stack oats tomorrow.
Couldnt get Geo Niles. He working for J Irvine
