Wednesday 1 December 1908
Frozen morning. West wind. No plowing done
to day, cleaned all the storm windows.
Voltie put them on. Wind, yesterday
blew the top off the hay stack. V went to
Franks to get him to help retop the stack.
It was 8 am and no breakfast. Emma
just dressing herself. V raked the hay
as best he could. The wind blows again
but not so hard as yesterday. Frank & Gunn
came at noon. Frank a Canadian half
breed dressed with red tobagan and sweater.
V in trouble about his debts but every
thing will come all right. Every thing rights
itself in time day after day will pass along
and we will find ourselves here well
and happy.
