Jan 20 Sunday
A mild day
Wind S. Wells Sr, Maud and I went
over to Belle's in sleigh found roads very
good. Had a fine visit only the children
went out playing in the snow and
came in covered with snow from head
to foot. Came home again just at dark,
found R here. Grandmother did not
go home, found her here too. Voltie and Charley Woodman|Chas Woodman]] drove to corners saw Buchanan about
lung complaint. Dont believe any thing
ails either of them. A cloudy day, looks
like a thaw. Wellington Smith here - gone home now
away across the ice & away, away, away.

Jan 21st 1895 Monday
A mild
soft cloudy day. Voltie gone with Rachel
to Carleton Island. Will D and Charley
over here came for their oil. GD gave young
C a reprimand for striking his sister Flora.
Well tis 20 minutes past 11 AM, supose I will
have to look around about the dinner. Heard this
day that Frank Woodman has got the best head
and most brains of any shote on the Island.
So his brother Charles says. Supose his brother
Charles knocked some sence [sic: sense] into him when
when he got him out in the field and laugh
when he used to give him a pounding every
day so as to make an M.D. of Frankie
by swan going to rain.
