<b>31  Oct</b>    Had been arranged by ministry with    Eld. Anna  &'ChFam that   Hugo was to take  charge of
<br>
                       hired hands at  ChF and run the farm.   All seemed to agree.    "Today Julia McNally came
<br>
                       down on a special   pilgrimage to inform E!d 0Anna that  Fred Willey,  Eld 0Mary   (Nelson),
<br>
                       Libby  DeLong and herself would attend to and run their own place,     they did not want any
<br>
                       of our help and wished we would mind our own business.      So Eld. Anna  said they would
<br>
                       drop everything  until the ministry's return." They  had also asked ministry to have  Eld.
<br>
                       Caroline  & Lucy to  move to  Office at ChF,  but have now backed down.      Eld. Caroline
<br>
                       &  Lucy  "had in truthno idea of going anyway unless ministry    insisted."
<br>
                       Abbie  Bartlett (of ChF) came to  SF store inp.m.  and visited Anna  Goepper   & told her  it
<br>
                       was  Eld. Mary and Libbie   DeLong ("the  coarse specimens of  humanity") who   told SF to
<br>
                       mind their own business.

           /Nov   20   Hear that Maggie Caldwell    left Mt. Lebanon NF    in J*4^7 leaving Shakers for good, had
<br>
                       clothes sent to NYC   where she expects to  live with a cousin.
<br>

<br>
<b>23  Nov</b>    After much discussion between Eld. Walter Shepherd,      Eld.Arthur etc., agreed ChF would
<br>
                       run their own affairs.  Eld. Mary  Nelson wanted Julia McNalley appointed      as trustee but
<br>
                       she refused, saying "she neither felt capable or able" but was willing to help all   she could
<br>
                       "but wanted no break or hard feelings with   the SF.  So Eld. Anna   & Eld. Caroline w i l l
<br>
                       continue as trustees for both families.  "We understand also there is to  be no more canning
<br>
                       at the ChF of any kind.   So the canning ends. "   The Ministry didn't argue the  matter
<br>
                       because they said it was too hard work for  the few sisters there are to do itand that is
<br>
                       the truth, although  ithelped make our living.
