This is the last page of this diary. Will staid
with R last night; he came this morning after breakfast
said R is sick and was sick all night chotery morbus [cholera morbus]
ate to much cabbage & green corn for Saturday dinner.
V gave Will cinnamon, ginger, cayenne, sulphur, etc

Then Edith went over and staid till two Oclock pm.
Madeline and Myrabelle came and we had a fine visit
with them, then after dinner and dishes washed Emma
made a trip to Hiram Joslins to see Maggie and
her kid. Accompanied by Madaline & Myrabelle as
far as Rachels which soon brought Edith back with
them. Edith prepared the supper, which didn't amount
to much, then came Ogle to be sure! Madaline &
Myrabelle went to J Murphy's. I gave them all the
comic papers they could carry home with them.
Ogle, Will, Emma & Edith, went to Niles to hear
the Victrola. They came back by way of Rachels
where Will stoped all night and so
ends Sunday 26 Aug 1917. Forgot to say river rough all day
are therefore no yankee visitors. Now I like visitors all right if we could
only stuff them all right, but some times the stuffing fails as it this time
no butter.

The whole south and West were piled with dark black rain
clouds which soon faded away. The sun came out in
glorious spendor. Wind South and breezy. V shot a rooster
for dinner. V & W drawing and stacking.
