My brother came over in the forenoon and dined with me on the remains of yesterday’s dinner with the addition of a piece of pork boiled and some carrots.
My brother stayed and waited in the shop while I went to serve Mr French’s funeral. I served the funeral and came home about 7:20. My brother went away immediately.
