not drank any, my appetite poor

cough. breakfast dishes not gathered
but sprawled all over table. Edith

look after R's old cow. Sylvia
rung for Edith to go up and
stay with Maggie while they go
over to see Bessie McDonald
who is sick, & going to leave from
here before long. R's old cow going to
die. Towards night Em rung for
Edith to come home. Ruth came
down to supper said Laura Elley

a lantern to see her safely home.
