back from school had
some lunch. Then
went up to 'the pond'
with R. Deane taking
Billy. Made the
circuit of the pond and
landed once on the
other side. When we
came back across the
pond it was quite rough.

the last remnants of the
Tudor boat house. Got back

General in father's buggy we went
down & saw the boats go out at the
float. Then went up & took J.
Nichols out to ride.
