on ice awful. Charley drove to school
house for his children and teacher found
slush way up to the top of the cutter box,
he had to stand on the seat to keep
out of it. 15 eggs to day.

Saturday 25 March 1905
A foggy morning sun shines out
dismaly [sic]. Thawing of course.
I washed breakfast dishes. Maud cleaned
the floors. Voltie went to Sams to
ask Charley to drive to Will Gilespie's
with him. Charley sick with cold.
V went on horseback to keep his feet
from getting wet. Came back & went
to Niles' to ask Wallace to go to River View
with him for rubber boots. Wall gone
up to visit Shell. Jack went instead.
They started after dinner and walked
across the ice to Beadles and then
to the corners and returned at 5 pm.
found slush and water but very
good ice. V remailed my letter to
JB Mills.
