Monday July 18, 1921 Roy delivered mail. In the afternoon I went over to Mrs Gordon’s to see about getting help to survey the Gordon drain but there was two machines in the neighborhood and it took all the help they could get to attend to the threshing machines, so they said to leave the drain till next week. Mary Kemp and she went with us down to Mrs Geo. Crawford’s and we had supper there. The day was warm.

Tuesday July 19, 1921 It rained last night and we thought the car would not go so we got Charles Gyp, but after I got to the P.O. I found that the roads were all right for the Auto and I called up Roy and he came with the car. On my way home I took the mail round the {illegible} line. The greater part of the day was fine and not too warm.
