Cool & frosty again. Willie painted
the front gate after riding down to
Ashton (on E's bicycle) for the paint.
Jno. Ed Hill came & cut & split the
wood at the wood pile. Afternoon
Willie took Dora & Fanny to "Fairfield"
in the "Surry." I went with
them as far as Cuff's where I went
to see "Minnie." I walked home
from there & Edwd walked up to
"Fairfield" & brought the horse &
carriage home reaching home
after dark. Some rascally boy
(at "Sherwood School) injured one
of E's bicycle tires so as to
render it useless.

over & remained until after breakfast

& took back our "sitz bath" tub.
Alice also went back with him.
Afternoon W came again on his
way to Olney for some carpet rugs:
he reports E.P. much relieved by
the "hip bath" (hot as he could bear.
