there was sheep down at the station for us we were so busy we couldn't go till night, then Dad. & I went down in the waggon, we picked Huby up who was in a great state of excitement over the ram, (for it proved to be the one I ordered from Mr. Hanmer), if we hadn't come down he waas going to have it sent over, he wasn't the any worse ofr his trip, as all hands at the station had been careful to keep him in the shade. I was very surprised to see him as I under stood Mr. Hanmer to say he wouldn't ship him till after he had been shown at different fairs, he is crtainly a beauty. Hot.
