Wednesday 12 August 1914
Time flies and summer is hastening
away. This is a cool day. Wind N.E.
V and J drawing and stacking oats.
I done some repairing of overalls and
socks for the boys V & J. After dinner
Rachel, Lottie and Louise came over
awhile and staid a couple of hours.
Wind hushed river still, river like a
mirror. Lottie & Louise came and
Emma and the two girls go out in
the boat after supper. Edith pulled
all the onions this day. The flies
are very troublesome.

Thursday 13 August 1914
No one goes to town from here
to day except Rachel. Voltie drives to
the dock. We send by her for groceries
and a hundred lbs of flour. Emma drives
over with Voltie to send by Maggie Joslin
for embroidery needles. Voltie and John
draw and stack oats. V drives to dock.
Reginald and Robert Jr came down on
the boat leased to come home again. They
bring me a letter from Grace saying they are
going to move to Limerick or Brownville
Grace has been over there, to Berts. All is
well.

Friday 14th August 1914th 1914
The day is clear and very warm. I received
a letter from Belle saying Grace is to
be married next month (Sept). V rec'd
a letter of thanks from Anglin thanking him
for strawberry plants. The Standard and
Montreal Herald and Weekly Star. We sat
up to read the War News.
