Sunday 1st of March
A cloudy day, not extremely
cold. Rev Stuart here this a.m.
John helping Voltie barrel apples
for market. Emma cooking cabbage
for dinner. A miserable storm
raging towards night. John
goes over to Rachels after dark
through the storm with a lantern
to see how she is. I caught another
cold. I took two quinine
capsuls and a half teaspoon
of Eclectric oil which made
me very sick all night

Monday 2nd March 1914
The storm continues snowing
blowing and drifting. V & J
does chores and put up 112 sections
of honey for market, puttied glass
in veranda windows. John went
over to R's to do her chores.
I guess they thought J & V that
I had a fit or something only
I was so soundly sleeping they couldnt
awaken me very easily. Well the stormy
day has passed on, gone with the rest
of eternity.
