Saturday 7 December 1895
A cold morning. Wind in the bright
hauled around south not blowing very
hard. Our clothes all on the line this morning.
Voltie brought them in before breakfast. Voltie goes
again this a.m. for more wood & drew a load
of logs. Wallace came after dinner and helped V
saw up a log. Grace irons clothes, cleans floors,
made pies, cookies. Irene bakes bread. A cold
raw cloudy Windy half snowy day.
Maud is eleven years old this day.
I wish we could get a letter from Martin.
A dark dull evening looks like rain.

My faith looks up to thee
Thou Lamb of Calvary
Saviour Divine
Now hear me while I pray
Take wash my guilt away
and may I from this day
Be wholy thines.
