Don and I were up to a recruiting meeting at Hopewell Cape last night. Everett took a team. They had a bon-fire on Shepody Mt. but it didn’t last long. Jim took a team up to see the fire. Mrs. David Stewart and children came last night in the train. We were down to the recruiting meeting in the Hall to-night. Mamma sang in the choir. Grandpa, Mr. DeWolfe, Dr. Murray, Mr. Sherwood and two members of the Kiltie Battalion spoke. They didn’t get any recruits. Clara [Fillimore] read “Fire the Pile on Craiggowan Heights.” Harvey Wright sang “Soldiers of the King” and Mrs. Alden Peck sang “Annie Laurie.”

Mrs. D. Stewart was in this afternoon. Rob McGorman is getting our hay on the march. Mamma and I were [on] yesterday picking cranberried [sic] [Really or overread?]. We got a little over a peck. I guess our marsh is about the only one that has any berries on it this year at all.
