A new milker at the barn.
Emma took up old mattress from
my bed room floor, cleaned out every
thing, sent the old cupboard at foot
of my bed up stairs. It took Emma
Voltie and John to get it up there
and then Emma carried up a
thousand old magazines and periodicals
every kind printed in U.S.A. and
Canada, England Barbados -
besides we tore up and burnt up
but still they accumulate.

Wednesday 11th March 1914
A very good day for traveling
on the ice. Voltie went across to
Vans brought home 5, 6 gallons
cans of Kerosine. Lib sent another
load of literature and some carrots,
onions.

Thursday 12th March 1914
I write two letters. One letter]to
Maud also one to Grace, sent Isabella
.10 for buy her candy. Voltie and John
draw straw for Rachel. I dont feel
very well with grip. The rest of the family
can walk or run or bang around just as
they please while I sit here. O sometimes I
dont know wheather I'm on Wolfe island or
in the world or where. Every thing seems
strange weird and wizzardy.
