NO ENTRY MADE.

Wea. SAT. JAN. 30, 1904 Ther.
Went down with Lyle to get a boiler but didn’t.
Editor's Note: Is it just me or does anyone else think Allen shafted Ray in the cart deal? Allen got it at a serious family discount of $2.50 and sold it to Ray for $25! All Ray seems to do is work for the Cass men and this is how he gets thanked. I hope there was some more to it than how it looks from here and that Allen wasn't so mercenary.
Finally Allen got to see Alice (Warn) again!
