Friday 13 April 1917
Awoke this morning to find the ground
covered with a light fall of snow. Joe didn't
get up till breakfast was ready. Joe to was up
nearly all night to helping Voltie tho cloudy and dismal.
I guess Voltie got
one sick cow, guess she will die. Mail brought
me a letter from Grace & John. Voltie works awful
hard and no help. Skinned two calves to
day. He went to bed quite early this pm.
