Transcription Notes
Ellis phones after breakfast that he will be here tomorrow so we decide to wait until we see him before deciding on our next move. Maud works all day at the maps shaping our itinerary. I prospect a little in the morning but find conditions quite hopeless. It is a queer little place with a grand square with a massive Court House in its centre, a few good shops surrounded by residences, largish houses tailing off to small & dirty ones. All the names here are of German origin — one store had written up watches, Guns and Confectionery, a queer combination! The electric street lamps burn all day regardless of waste, we found the same thing at Woodstock — they are an extravagant people in some things. In the afternoon we prospect again but with no better luck. No letters as yet — have had none for nearly a week now. News from the Front a little better but we are very anxious still. Weather not so warm and clouding over — evidently means rain. Go to movies again after dinner. Quite amusing and as it costs only 11 cents not an extravagant business. Feeling very slack and terribly sleepy — perhaps a good thing to have a few restful days like to-day.Location
