Saturday September 30th

Did not get up early as I did not feel very well. Corby came before breakfast and Dick and Frank went off with him after chestnuts. They did not get back till after dark. They said they had good luck, they went to one place Corby paid the man a quarter for the tree and stayed there all day. It was up near the Glen. They saw old Bill walking home. Daddy and I went over and put a post in for the fence between the far wheat field and the gully. Then we went back about half past ten and and started to cut corn. We cut till dinner and finished the field this afternoon. Dad let Belle and Old Harry in the lane before noon and after dinner we found her with her leg caught in the wire which she had done by rolling. We had quite a time getting her out and had to cut one of the upright wires, but she was not hurt badly. Dad killed a couple of young Plymouth roosters for {Side margin} (words illegible due to being partly off the page} confirmation class to-morrow. Allan Law came after Dad to go to Edward {Eugla...} to see a sick mare but Dad told him to go to {illegible} Simcoe and get another man so he went to telephone. Then we all went down town in the lumber wagon with Ginger and Joe. Lila and Dorothy McCall came over and went down with {us?}. We got a stove off Cousin {Poll} and put it up to-night. Daddy and I walked down to meet Boy to-night and did not get to bed till late.
