Thursday 21st June 1917
A bright cool day. 8 men here to get dinner
for, Wm Gillespie, 2 men from Kingston, Maurice Maloney,
Stewart Murphy, Hiram Joslin, Joe & Samy.
Voltie gone to Kingston to see Cunningham and
and buy eatables for these men. Not much done
except cook and eat these days. Emma finished
her crochet underwaist just fine. Joe drove to dock
for V and he comes with provisions enough to
last awhile. It was Sheridan drove for Voltie, not Joe.
E, E and Langley went to Flynn's in punt. The two
Kingston men went across the river in V's
punt and out to St Lawrence for me

Friday 22 June 1917
A very fine day. V arose early and called
Maurice from bed to row across home for Ed and Sherd
came back in time for breakfast. Ed brought them
over in motor and went home again. Sheridan
remained to help V. 8 men including Voltie to
cook for to day. In the evening Sheridan, Maurice,
and Joe go to Flynns to visit and play cards. The
old pig had 4 piggies a disapointment. We expected
12 or more but 4 is better than none. Concrete
work goes slow.
