Enah said Aunty Alice had expected [Darycote?} to come and work in the garden but he didn't so she was out digging herself, so Dad. told Frank to tell them to-night (he went down to cash his order) that I would go down tomorrow if all was well and help them We saw in yesterday's casuality list yesterday that Kieth Aylen of Ft.
