Lest We Forget---May 13, 14 and 15, 1913

BACK TO WORK!! I think that getting back to some hard manual labor after several days of "relaxing" may have caused a few aches and pains. As you can probably tell, there are more illegible words here than usual.

If you can figure out the questionable parts of the entries, let me know! I could use the help...
