town this after noon. George spent the after noon writing letters. He received a packet of mail yesterday from Grand daddy with a telegram enclosed offering him a position as instrument man with a survey party going to Peace River at $100 a month. George thought that was "joke" but another epistle from Grand daddy informed him that he had answered the telegram saying he didn't think George would accept the position. George sent a wire right off yesterday contradicting that statement and this after noon wrote his father telling him that while it was perfectly alright to open his letters he did object to his answering them. To-night George Marion and I went for a drive. Dad. said he would like to see the skull I found so we went up and got it and brought it home. We then went on out through Lynn Valley. It was the first time they had had a ride behind Queen and it was quite a treat I think after Mexico. We had some music when we got home.

Sunday June 22nd

Frank Tid. and I went down to Sunday school and Enah George and Marion went down to church. I stayed at Aunty's for dinner. Mr. & Mrs. Millman were there and so was Tid. Frank came home to dinner but all the rest went down to the Harding's for their midday repast. I came home early and wrote to {Darrie?}. The rest came home fairly early and Alan, Dick & Mrs. Dick Tibbitts came over for tea. I left right after tea for Nanticoke as Marj. went down last night with {Warrie?} Banfield and I drove her home. It has been a lovely day with a fine cool breeze.

I hoed the strawberries and FRank took the mower guards down and had the new ledger plates riveted on Broadlet was here fior twom or three hours at noon as he had several customers, consequently we didn't get much doen.
