I called the girls to the house. Emma
done all the chores after they drove away
but Edith is to dirty and lazy to
do anything excepting eating her meals,
obstinate and quarrelsome. Boat
left at 2 p.m. V drove home quite
early. 6 eggs to day.

A misty soft day cloudy.
Voltie drove over to dock for lumber
and things. Anglin sent a door
to many. Rachel rode over when
V came from dock. She brought
towels to hem on machine
and a tick to make for a
pillow. George W Woodman
came and he & V worked on
Geo's sleighbox. Geo & R here

for preserves. R paid ,52 cts to me for the eggs.
