Sam. Law went past this morning and asked Dad. if he would be ready to have them pull in here this after noon after they thrashed Ben Ivey out but Dad said 'No.' However on thinking it over he thought it would be better to thrash before seeding so as to have some feed and so I went down with the big team and waggon and got a load of slabs while Dad. cleaned out the barn and got all ready for them. I was down about all morning but got a good load. Enah went down with me and got some vegetables and some dandy tomatoes over at her mother's and I brought them home on the load. This after noon Dad. went over to Ben's to see Sam but John Wess had spoken to him over at Charlie's so he has to go there next but will be here to-morrow, probably by after noon as they just moved to John Wess to-night and didn't thrash any. I didn't do anything much this after noon. My cold made me feel rotten and I went in the house and went to sleep. Dad. continued to prepare.

I walked down town right after breakfast and got some meat for the thrashers and spoke to Chris for a man from Martins
