[illegible] Capt Jack Donnely the driver for
weeks. Voltie comes just afer dark: he
staid to supper. Then he drives to Geo Gillespie's
carrying the bulls hide that he is
going to send to Gananoque to have tanned
for a robe. Snowing all p.m. a tough
old winter. Maude and Beatrice rolled
the quilt twice once yesterday and once
to day. Then Beatrice went to Mrs Niles visiting
Bob Reid here this evening till 1/4 past 9.

Friday 29 January 1904
A day of snow and sun light
rather cold. Voltie and Lobe drew three loads
of wood from the island which makes fourteen.
They may not draw any more but I hope
they will. Maud made pies (mince) and
cake, baked sweet apples. Loban here to
dinner and supper then staid and helped
V draw off a barrel of cider. Bob Reid came
for his mittens which he left here last night.
Beatrice home from her visit from Niles
had a very enjoyable time. Said Shell
has lost her watch in Kingston, we rolled
twice on the quilt to day. The girls went
for the mail, we are getting our last Herald
till we subscribe again. Evening mail, Whig
