in mail box. Howard came for Annie's berries
6 boxes. Dick Barrie here for berries. Rachel came over
for milk and berries and beans. V killed the hen that
dug the potatotes; the white leghorn that was running around

Sunday 20th June 1915
A very fine day only the wind blows quite a breeze
from South. No one here except Roy Rattray in the
evening, dressed in his best. He thinks he is
come courting I guess. I read nearly all day
we have a chicken stew and strawberries for dinner.
Emma goes to Sylve's in evening gone only one
hour.
