Got up good and early this morning and after doing most of the chores drove down with Daddy for him to catch the train. I looked all over town for Bill to come out and run the long furrows in the wheat-field but could not find him. He was at the Dominion Hotel but his name was not on the register, so the English-man thought he was not there. {Sewed?} corn most of the day. Dick got a basket full of hickory nuts and said there were twice as many down. I came up about half past four and did chores. Dick and I drove down about seven to meet Daddy and Frank. Lila was all ready to go with us. Bill was at Huby's and said he was coming over to morrow. He had toothache to day and was going up to have a tooth pulled. The train did not get in till nearly nine. We got home about eleven ten with {Margin note} Frank bag and baggage.They had supper and it was after eleven when we got to bed. Fine and warm today.The Mr. Taylor that Frank came home with was a presbyterian minister but not the one we supposed. He was Mr. Willie Taylor from here, Dean's brother. Frank went in to get his teeth fixed and Deans was the dentist. He knew Frank was a Barrett and when he found he wanted to come East took him toSycamott to meet his brother who he knew was coming East to be married. Frank said Deans was pretty homesick and wished he was coming. He assured Frank he would like it better here.
