First thing this morning I went over to Bill Donald's to tell them about the thrasher. He had not got back from his sister's funeral yet but Mrs. Donald said she would send word to the men. I came through Cruise's but did not see any thing of him. I also told Louise's. I got home a little,before the maching came. I did not do a thing all day esceot the chores. I have had a better day all summer for although there have been lots of days when I have not done any more but have not had the pleasure of seeing the others work so hard.
