Bud agrees to stay & help develop claim.

Still very weak, puttered around house all day cleaning & baking bread & stewing fruit which brought bees by millions so we could not eat same till after dark when they subsided.
Bud got stung twice in kitchen.

Very peevish & full of cuss.

Says positively must make trip to Bend & get cigarettes tomorrow or will blow up whole outfit.
