I didn't think I would be down to-day but I wanted to know if Marj. was feeling better. I met Dad. & Frank at the factory with a load of pea silage which they were going to bring out to me but they said as I was not home they would take it home and bring me a load to-morrow. Marj. was feeling better. I called in to see Harry B. on my way home and he for the first time showed signs of wanting me to take him with me. Beautiful day again but quite a cold breeze.

I didn't get over last night and it was very dirty. Dad. and Frank came out quite early with a load of pea silage and when we unloaded it they hooked to the road scraper. We had to pound out the hammer strap before we could get the draw bolt through the doubletrees and as it was bad to use a smaller sized draw bolt.
