Primary tabs
American Independence Day. If Roosevelt’s promise is true we should be hearing some heartening news very soon.
Didn’t hear Hill’s baking efforts this am. ((Believed to be F. N. Hill)) Thoughts of all sorts of things kept me awake until the early hours of this morning so I was fast asleep by the time he got started.
Fridge moved from American Kitchen to G6.
Four pkts.cigs @ 30cts issued.
$75 parcels being distributed at last, but they are by no means satisfactory. Oats full of weavils [sic] & chocolate mouldy & the value of total goods $52.50, $22.50 dis-counted for big notes. However, as the goods are gratis (at present) we must be satisfied.
Dull & humid.
Had lovely eats with Steve, sausage & bacon & some real cocoa. ((We think this was E. J. Stevens))
Mandoline & guitar in Venables place. ((Probably A. C. Venables))
No news.
