I have let this lapse again for a week so these next few items will necessarily be brief and may be incomplete.

Wednesday April 22nd

I walked over home this morning to get Queen and Dad. wanted me to go down to Aunty's with him to get some wood and he wanted to take Joe & Queen so we didn't get home till noon as we had a little conversation with Mr. Parks who is at Aunty's most of the time working over the old papers. He had a stenographer there this morning and Aunty Alice was dictating to her. She is some friend of Quint's from Brantfield. Aunty Alice seems very much excited, worried and upset over the whole business. This afternoon I went up to Harvey Shand's right after dinner to tell him Herb. Brooks was up at Ham. Thompson's out of a job, then I came home and drilled in the rest of my peas and it took all of the bushel I got to do it. I took the drill back and came home and harrowed over the fresh drilled piece and took the harrows back to Dave, which made me rather late. Azadouhy seems to be getting more contented and likes the children. Much milder to-day.
