Lunn, Nov. 21 We did not get up so very early and took some time with our breakfast. After breakfast Buckley held an auction and sold off of our late, the dead Cluing- man's (Sherlock Holmes) things: I bid in his blue coat for my boy, B. left me soon after and then I took lunch and a boy and went up on the Sundown Spur and did a lot of collecting. Found Nelmin's heartache? and several other good ferns. Did not get back until after lunch time and so I finished up the rice and chicken left over from break- fast. I put my plants in frass and had a big lot of them. It has been rather rainy and windy and I worked with my clever stuff. We had an early dinner. I tried to write up my note by candle light but never got it up and went to bed.
