32^o Cloudy S.E
March, Monday 21st. 1887.

Cloudy & rather warmer
and without the wind we
have had for about a week.
I walked up to the mill to
see "Henderson" & borrow his
harness for the wagon and
after dinner Charley & Willie
took Ed Gilpins wagon and
"Fritz & Kate" & brought home
a cord of pine wood sawed
into store length's from W^m S
Bond's Bone Mill. I went in
next door & perscribed for
"Bessie" Robison & "Phil"
Willie drove Fritz to the buggy
up to Brighton to Edwd Peirces'
to notify Alice & Fanny that Dora
was not at home to go to the
sociabl this evening, he came
back before dinner. It commenced
raining about 4-30 pm
& showered at intervals until
bed time. It is fortunate that
I urged the boys to get the
wood at once as I fearned we
would have more bad weather.
and we were out of wood.

35 Snow. Cloudy E.
March, Tuesday 22d. 1887.

Dan Banks was here
early for advice & medicine
for his boy "Garfield."
The snow is about 6 inches
deep. quite disheartening for
my Rockville trip today and
after getting ready to go it
still continued snowing & the
traveling would be so bad from
the wet snow "falling" in the
horses feet. I gave it out and
Charley went to "Elton" to bring
his sister home in the buggy
driving "Kate." Glad we succeeded
in getting the wood house
full of nice saw'd wood before
this storm came on. Afternoon
Lizzie Scott called again
on account of her sister "Ellie"
Willie went upto the store
for sundries. Elvira Hill was
here to see me after supper.
The roads are very bad again
but probably will not remain so
long as the wind & sun will dry
them up sooner than earlier in the
season
