Wednesday 24 Feb 1897

A fair morning sun shining
out clear for a while. A blustering
time with wind and snow at noon
Guess Dicks oysters will not spoil.
I hope they can go this pm and
get the job done with at last.
Heard this am by way of
Irvine, that Buchanan's horse cutter
medicine box &c &c are safely found
with some man below Clayton.
For Harry's sake I'm glad
Charley Woodman gone to Gananoque
to day. Our stove pipe burnt out
again to day at noon. V and
Grace to Bells to dance all night
taking boiler and milk, mince pie
