Tuesday 14 July 1914
A beautiful cool cloudy day.
I sent letter to Nellie, 1 to Muriel.
Edith, Margaret, Miriam, and Isabella
walked to the post office. V & John working
in field haying. Grace worked in kitchen
all a.m., picked berries in p.m. Isabella
swept the veranda and picked up and
cleaned up everything, the dear little cherub.
Wind North and breezy. John and Voltie
worked in hay field. Reginald
raking with old tranhorse. The girls
every one go to the post office in
the old buggy. Not a letter excepting one
card from Muriel. John received a letter

home but they were not satisfied till

broke his heart. Knapp is the fair
haired "bye". Now let him support
them. they will get enough of Knapp
and taking care of themselves after awhile. John
has been their support and slave
long enough, two great healthy women
when they have robbed him till he has nothing
but his poor toil, warm hands to support
them with. Then keep pulling on him for
money after they have destroyed his
home and drove him out. Have they
turned Knapp out? Oh no. But when he
finds out that he too has lost his support
he will show his rotten nature
and forsake them all right and I
