It was quite a job but we got them all. Tupper was over this morning to get me to do his chores for him while he goes to the London Fair. so I went over to-night to see what to do. Aunty, Aunty Alice and Cousin Clair were over to tea to-night. Miss Kerney & Mrs. Hallam came over to-day and bought some plums from Enah. Cold wind.
