I was up at 4:45 this morning, and the others were up soon after to give Loby an early start for Guelph.

However, I went down at noon to visit a relative, who told me that Dole had taken the 9 o'clock train. Frank sent a little note (possibly "oak lelubo") in the morning. In the afternoon, we did some light chores. Vite and Arthur came over this afternoon, and Frank has gone skating tonight. It was a lovely day but a bit windy.
