A fine morning. V and Emma went
to Kingston. V carried his pork to market
which came to over a $150 dollars. Joe Woodman
drove them to the dock and went for them at
evening time when the boat came in. Aunt Rachel
here and helped drive the work.
Mrs Herbert Essford here to dinner, she
came from Sawmill bay where she had been
visiting for two weeks. R phoned for Essford
and he came for her about 3 pm. Joe drove.
Well they came at last, tired and hungry
and Emma much dissatisfied and disapointed
because she didn't get the things she wanted
which she could have done as well as not
when she had the money in her purse $25 dol
but she met with to many congenial companions.
