he was all right and had evidently been born for some time. He got up when I went near and is very strong on his legs. This after noon Dad. Tid & I went back and fixed the fence up a little between the pasture & the wheat. We also put Iveys cattle all back and fixed the fence above the creek where they had walked under. Frank & Tid. drove Mexico down town this morning and Aunty & Aunty Alice invited Frank down there for a few days to recuperate, so this after noon Marj. drove him down and left him there. Rained in the night. Cloudy but warm to-day
