Headache. Inez & Archie & kids came. Felt bum. Pa came over. MAy had good time. Went home in Eve.

Note: Archie is Ernest's brother and Inez(Sumner) Illingworth is Archie's wife. They had three boys at this point, Howard, Edward and Robert. They later had two girls. Ruth and Ann. I think they lived in Bellows Falls and I don't think Ada was very fond of them.
