Monday July 10th

Bill did not get back to-day till about 2.30 p.m.

This morning Daddy and Dick and I got the loft over the horse stable ready to receive the hay. Dick went down town and got the hooks for the hay fork pulleys and Daddy braced the bottom part of the barn. Then we pitched off the load that was in the barn.

After dinner as Bill had not showed up, we came to the conclusion he was not going to and Daddy felt rather badly about it as Bill knew what state we were in. However he and I went out and got a small load on thinking we would do the best we could with the fork alone. When we got up to the barn we found Huby. Bill and Quint there getting ready for us.
