To-night I went down town but none of us went to church to-night. I went up to Miss. Martin's where I found Marj. & Mr. & Mrs. McQueen. They had been in Grimsby all day and had come back on the seven o'clock car. They had intended going down with Jack Walker but it was such a nasty morning Jack didn't go so they went by radial and had a fine after noon.
