    Travelling Folk.
    Travelling people call to my home. Some have for years. They seem very poor. Some sell small articles, and people buy. In the town they get their supplies. These travellers do not stay at night. I do not know where they sleep. They accept flour, potatoes, bread, sugar, tea or money. They travel on foot. They travel singly. Sometimes families or bands travel in caravans, made I believe by themselves. But they do not put up in this district. There are no pattern days.
