about 3 pm having walked
every step of the way and nothing to
eat since breakfast. I think it was
a long walk for a 8 1/2 year old yonker
with short legs.

Thursday 8 March 1917
A cloudy not very cold day. Voltie started for
Kingston at 7 1/2 Oclock am together with George Woodman,
Joe Woodman and John OBrien,

barn. Will Niles came over quite early.
Delavson & Frank drove in here to just
make us a little visit. They staid till V
