lazy louts. Ed sprained his ancle yesterday
at the French picnic on Brophys point. Sylve

she is bold enough. Ed said he had been
trying three days to get her to comb her hair.
I think about one more month will release
her either dead or alive. Poor fool. Recd a letter
from Welly with 25 dollars. R here to supper.

Saturday 3rd July 1915
Rained very little in night. V didn't go to
factory till after breakfast, a misty morn.
V brought home wall paper for dining room
celing [sic] wall and bordering. Fhoned to Rube
to take him to Clayton in Rubes motor. V started
about 11 a.m. About 5 p.m. Rube phoned that V
had gone to Watertown, so that settled the business for
waiting or looking for him to day. Beginning to rain,
and rains hard; and in the midst of the rain and nearly
dark, Bert and Maud accompanied by Robert Jr and
Robert Sr, who have all come over in Smiths skiff.
Well this week is gone never more to return; the day the same.
It has brought its usual amount of work and incidents and
and events, not only for us but to every living soul
dwelling on this habitable globe. We phoned for Roy but he gone
to Watertown with Samy Woodman. Joe came & milked the heifer, gave him 2 boxes
of berries.
