Monday 31st May 1915
Another bright day and warm. V by
help of Emma set a net then went over on
R's place building fence all day. I was so
glad to receive a letter from Grace. Emma washed
all the curtains except the parlor curtains.
Edith is washing her feet to day, and changing
her stockings. Emma received a letter from
Robert Jr, wherein he tells her all about his
garden, and the May fair in Watertown
on the 22, also about Mr Niles the aviator
flying over Woolworth tower New York who is
engaged to perform at the fair by doing all
kinds of tricks in his monoplane even to
looping the loop. V set two more nets
this evening.

Tuesday 1st June 1915
A fine warm day. Edith at school.

any thing. I washed breakfsast dishes, jars
pot, pans, kettles, cooked beans and rhubarb.

drill. Evening Roy Rattray here awhile. Ed came for
Emma to stay with Sylve while Ed & Roy go to foot
