January 1st 1852
Thursday. A Beautiful day.
The cold weather seemed to pull
away with the old year, and
this morning seems pleasant
as spring. The moles are at
work and the birds singing
I am at work at a sleigh
Went at night to writing school
Recd a letter from Eliz A. Wilson

Cloudy in morning but
clears up -- John hauled
wood.

---3---
Looks stormy and snows
Went to Elk after iron but
it was not there. Milly still
at Mr. Morris's. Brought Mr
Price a barrel of mackerel
Snowing as I came home
