88

Wednesday 25 Jan 1899
A beautiful day, clear but
cold, ground bare, no snow this
month so far. V went to River View
for Kerosine. Laura Davis went too.
V sets two shoes on Bess. After
dinner V drives to villiage for coal
& Laura goes home to the villiage
with Volson, they drive up on the
ice with two horses before the sleigh.
Maud went to school but returned; no
school. Teacher sick with gripp.
I'm writing from a new bottle of ink.
Wellie & Hubert here for a few minutes. I'm a very
poor writer, used to write quite a decent hand.
Devolson returned early in evening with
a load of coal.
