will not be so bad when the apples ripen
Tuesday 29
On wagon again as No. 4. Rain started about 10 am and were advised a little after 11 to return to camp immediately We returned after resting the horses and we came into camp at a great pace
After unharnessing the horses we wheel the wagon to its place in line with others. I was on one wheel but the others on the when the wagon swerved my way & went over by toe. I hopped around a bit but walked back to my tent & started to change by clothes which were wet. I had changed shirt & tunic & was removing by my boot when I found sock wet with blood. I had the big toe nail nearly squeezed off so reported to the doctor. After having it washed and bandaged I was put to bed so that I would not get it knocked about further. I was very surprised to see the toe hurt like it was especially as I thought toe injured toe nails very painful.
It is just as well that I can, if I desire, stay in bed as it is very wet & cold at present. So though I suppose I have a sore toe I am doing well and will very shortly be all well again. Spent the remainder of the day in bed having a couple of naps during the afternoon.
Wednesday 30th
Cold bleak & rainy day. So I thanked my lucky stars & stayed in bed all the morning. I got up in time for dinner & wrote letters.
