nasty day. Rain Rain mud

umbrella. C Woodman drove
for them all. V working in
shop. Sr sits by the stove and

Standard.

Thursday 6 April 1911
A dirty morning all right.
Thought I'd keep Emma home
but she discovered Franks kid
going to school across the park
and then Emma must go too
and she goes, and then I work
all day except I begin writing
to Muriel. Emma and Sammy Woodman
had a fight. Emma knocked Sam
out in one round so he went home
bawling. I think Emma is as
much to blame as Sammy. Emma
inclined to quarrelsomes.
