Saturday October 14th
We just did chores this morning and oiled the buggy and this after noon I got down town by soon after one and got Miss McQueen and Marjorie and went to Vittoria after chestnuts, we went up to Farrar's to try the woods that Helen Dunkin told me the big nuts were in. The woods are accross the road from the house and in front of them but two or three fields back, and there is a lane in to them. We drove Joe in the lane and tied her behind a clump of trees out of the wind and sight of the house. We trailed all through the woods which was nearly all chestnut trees but never found a nut but coming out we struck a little tree along the fence that was loaded and the burrs open. I climbed it and shook them all off and they picked up enough to satisfy them of big nuts very big ones. We then went up to Charlie Dunkin but he wasn't home, we tried a couple of other trees but didn't draw much in the way of nuts. I also took a couple of pictures and so did Marj. I didn't get home till nearly eight. Colder to-day.
