A bad frozen snow day, dull, dark and dreary.
E & E helping V work shifting lumber, driving
home the calves and yearlings, putting the sheep in
the old house, bringing home the colts. Bert Danus
(Weirs hired man) here looking for work. Orville here
twice looking for V to fix his old shoe. He didn't
fix it. Orville came again at dark looking for honey.
Wants to buy 2 lbs. I guess he wont get it. Orville is
stopping with Samy & says all they have to eat
up there is bread and butter. I write and send
a lettter to Grace. Orville got the honey. Samy

a big price but they are only 11 1/2 cts per lb.
Voltie went after dark with a lantern and banked
R's house with straw.
