Friday 24th January 1896
Raining and freezing: ice
on every thing, trees bending under
their load of ice. Sarah is obliged
to stay all day which does not appear
to be very disapointing, she reads and
makes a small wall which is very

one from Nelly Guy with V's photograph
proofs. M & M stay home to day from
school on account of rain. Will here
awhile. Evening in parlor. Piano
playing by Grace . [Wailying?] by V & S
at 10 pm I succeeded in driving them
all to bed. I sleep on lounge
