Voltie plowed after a long delay at home.
He was cross after the Halloween party,
couldnt get breakfast very early, found one
of his best pigs died, one of the big hogs
had killed it. he didn't come home to dinner
because he got started so very late to the field.
Emma had another day of cleaning up
after company and ironed a great lot
of clothes. Rachel expected Mrs William Ranous
to dinner but she didnt come. We
went to bed early. I received a letter from
Grace. I wrote on to Louise but was
to late to send it for card came with the
mail drove down in an automobile. This is
my month also Volties, wish I might get
a book for a birth day present.

Thursday 2nd Nov
A good day for plowing. V started plowing
a little earlier this morning. He too is
tormented pexed perplexed and has a tough
hard row to inpatient devilish sanety
Rachel came over with V to dinner.
I am writing a letter to Grace. V phones
to Henderson for groceries. Will McDonald
& family are moving to Kingston to day. E & E pulled
the dahlias, carried in all the apples & milk
the cows at evening time. V plowed till dark.
V engaged Jack Niles to bring our groceries from
the dock and leave them at the road gate, instead
he took them home with himself so he phoned. I found
an old tobaco pipe here on the table and threw it in the
fire.
