Moses' jurisdiction, I fail to see the enormity of the crime of doing a few odd jobs on Sunday. About four o'clock we all went down town as Marj. wanted to see Glad. Law Dr. Cook told her Glad. was going to Hamilton for treatment. We found when we got there that she had already left. We stopped in at the Bagley's for a few minutes and a few at Aunty's also at the farm where I arranged with Dad. & Frank to go over there to-morrow and shear sheep and let Frank plough corn ground, his own & mine. It has been getting colder all day and to-night when we came from town there was a very cold north wind.

Monday May 18th

It froze quite thick ic elast night ans has been quite cool all day but sunny. I went over to the farm this morning and we got seven sheep sheared. I did the shearing and Dad. turned the machine. Frank started to plough his cornground this afterboon. I wqent down to band-practice to0-night.
