let me have the money as he has sold Rachel to Cameron {illegible} for $155.00 He asked Charlie Eaid that for her and although he liked her very much he didn't offer him that for her, but said he would so if he could mate her first. Quint. and I had dinner at Aunty's and then I went over and sat with Marj. till about two o'clock when I left to attend a Horticultural meeting at the Canning Factory. It lasted most of the afternoon. Young Jones was there and asked me to paint his name on his new truck. Dad. has had the most exciting news yet from the English lawyers. They are sending a man out to dig up the necessary information and instructed Dad. to cable them when he would meet their man whose name is Mr. Parks.

Dad. had Harry B. in the front seat with him and he was pretty good. Mr. Cornish had to stop during the reading of the first lesson to request the choir not to kick up such a racket turning pages and whispering.
