Wednesday October 24th

It has rained steadily all day and all evening I haven't done any thing to speak of but my arm has been a lot better I didn't soak it to-day but bathed it well a couple of times. Dad. and Frank put a great fix on the back of the stove with a piece of tin and some stove cement. It doesn't smoke now and the water in the reservoir warms up =quickly I pasted a few snapshots in my new album this after noon and also shaved and went down to Aunty's to tea. Marj. was there too so we ha da very nice evening. They had a letter from Quint down there saying that straw mattresses & blamnkets had been issued so that he wthinks he will be in England all winter
