Saturday August September 16th

Stayed in bed this morning till about half past eight as I was not very well. I lay around all morning reading "The Millionaire Baby". Dick went down town and made a dollar peddling {illegible} {hills?}, Daddy went back and shovelled ditches. This afternoon Dick, Ferdie and Lissy went back shooting with the shotgun and a rifle but they did not shoot anybody, strange to say. Daddy and Enah went down to Mr. Skey's funeral. One of us ought to {have?} gone over to Bannister's to thrash this afternoon but under the circumstances could not.

Mr. {Highland?} was here again to buy the blue grass seed and offered Dad. sixty-five dollar. He said he would come again on Monday. Warm and nice to-day.

Sunday September 17th

Daddy and Enah & I set out for St. Williams this morning and Dick went down to church and Sunday School and stayed all day
