=== February Saturday 27 1926

Bobbie drove the team on the milk route for me so we made good time even if we were pretty tired. Just got to sleep at night when Alex called me and asked me to help him doctor "Dasiy" the sick cow, but I was soon in bed again and sound asleep.

Sunday 28

Bobbie helped me on the milk route again. Went to sleep when I drove him up home at night. Had a nice time when I spent the evening with Jean and saw the last of February and the beginning of March.
