Frankie wouldn’t work any longer on the dredge unless I pay him more so I am to give him .75 cents per day for the rest of this month and $20 a month as long as he works there after the 1st of Sept. Hired Chas. Wade for the rest of this week for .75 cents per day.

Took off 10 calves for $100 sold all I had left. Took them up to O'Stones. Calves sold $191 this year.

NO ENTRY AGAIN UNTIL OCTOBER 10TH
Editor's Note: Well hallelujah the boil is nearing its conclusion and none too soon. I'm guessing Flura Eldrige had rooms for rent, no? I can't find her in the Census.
Just to remind you S.S. in Allen's context is Sunday School. Frank and Nora didn't bring two S.S. troops home but I'm guessing they did bring home some traveling Baptists.
