Evidence:
'Friday 2nd July Teddie and I have managed to get up this morning. Here it is 10.30 and we have tidied up washed the supper dishes and I am waiting for breakfast reading Bennett?s ? Mr Prohack?. We got over to see Dad. He was not in but he left a note for me and we found him at the big Gilmore house cutting down the timber. There being no coal he has managed to purchase some of the timber in the garden as the house has been bought by the corporation as a housing site. He has to cut his wood down roots and all ? haul it to the yard, saw it and load it before it is ready for sale.'
