I went to meeting, heard a sermon
from Edwd Farquhar. Dora, Fanny
& Willie went to the (so called) "Orthodox"
meeting. The wind commenced blowing
again before noon & continued
all day. Afternoon Willie & Dora
went up to "Fairfield" bringing
their horse "Sally" back with them
leading her behind the buggy.
Turner Adams was here for advice
& medicine. Edward's "cold" is
somewhat better today but he is
still considerably "under the
weather. After meeting this morning
I walked over to "Cloverley" to
see John Bentley about some wood
which promised to send tomorrow
morning.

Wind. Clear. Ther. 28^o

Still "windy". Willie worked
at repairing Edwd's bicycle tire &
succeeded in getting it in running
order again. Afternoon John C
Bentley sent 1/2 cord of wood on
an ox cart; it is part oak & part
chestnut & much of it extremely
rough knotty wood. Jno W Johnson
was here for advice & medicine.
Towards evening Willie
Fanny, Dora & Edwd went over to
Fairfield to spend the night; there
being a "church sociable" meeting
held there this evening. Edwd
did not attend school today in
consequence of his not being well,
& we are doubtful as to the
propriety of his going to "Fairfield".
but as they left here whilst it was
quite pleasant & he will stay
there until tomorrow morning
perhaps it may not injure him.
