Wednesday 1st of August
I'll have to skip one of these pieces or
space might as well be this one for there cant be
two Wednesdays in one week. I do get things mixed
so if I dont write every day. Now last night was the
night V went for Grace and her family. Tuesday
instead of Wednesday.

A hot dry day. Oh how rain is needful at present
after sunset. V went over to Vans in Skiff
for Bert and Grace and family, they all
came about 9 pm of the hottest evening I ever
remember. Grace brought 9 fans. Bert brought
2 doz bottles of ale, and they swilled it down
like swill. Oh such a blazing hot night smothering
heat. and this is the day Bert and Maud went
to Watertown. They started at 8 a & all day going
broke down.
