Clear.
Ther. 25^o Tues. Jan. 18, 1898. Wind.Variable.

Clear & frosty again. I went to
the mill. John Bowen called
whilst I was away & left a dollar
for me . Afternoon Ella Hood Thompson
& her daughter Eve Hood
were here for advice & medicine
for the latter. George Oldfield
called to see me about his
father & mother. Edwd took
Alice Peirce home towards
evening. I went to the baker's
for some bread. Willie &
Fanny came to supper.
After supper Willie, Fanny, Dora
& I went to the Lyceum to an exhibition
or entertainment given by
Jos. Janney of a "Graphaphone" which
was excellent. We all enjoyed it
very much except that the room
was too cold. Audience not as
large as it should have been.

Cloudy.
Ther. 29^o Wed. Jan. 19^th 1898. Wind. N.E.

Went to the mill for corn for
the horse before breakfast. I
had considerable trouble finding
the stable key which Edwd lost
last night. I did find it however.
It has been cloudy & threatning
all day, the air raw and
chilly & feels like snow.
Afternoon Levi Webster (colored)
called to see me. The roads
are extremely rough; except
on the turnpikes, being frozen
hard after having been muddy
& cut us with wagons. Tonight
at bed time it is drizzling and
sleeting.
