Geo. & Family, John, Marnie,
the Humphreys, Bessie [Sd?], Tanta,
the Goodens and 'we uns"
How just gotten home from
a 4 of July picnic. 12 A. M.
John had a puncture and that
delayed us. We had a lovely
time. Had our fireworks in
the woods.
Friday, July 5, 1918
Am somewhat tired today after
our picnic yesterday. Then rather
a strenous day. Marnie & I
went down town shopping this
morning. Then there was a
troop train at noon--400 men--
195 officers. We made a big
basket of sandwiches at home,
and took with us. They were
a wonderful lot of soldiers and
enjoyed our sandwiches & iced tea.
Must have been 700 soldiers
during the day. Knitted
several inches on my soldier
sweater. Harry is out of town tonight.
