I got my hair cut and sat in the Battersby House reading the paper till the appointed time and then went down to the store. There was no sign of the girl and we waited for quite awhile before she showed up and I was beginning to think she had changed her mind but finally she and her father came along. We talked to them for awhile there trying to persuade him to hire out for the summer to Shands, but from what we could gather, he doesn't want to work on a farm through the summer as he thinks he can get work in town. He can't speak English but seems to understand it a little. We came back to Dover on the one o'clock car and Aunty Alice gave me a lunch. Zedwi as she pronounces her name said she had had her dinner. It was getting on for two when we got out here and Azadouhy Sarkisian as she spells her name got more homesick the farther out we got. She thought we were miles & miles away
