Much colder today. Water freezing
in the horse buckets on kitchen porch.
The wind is from the S.E. but is extremely
raw and chilly. I walked up to mill
& to Hendersons house for the papers.
Feel very sore and rheutmatic and
am suffering from "sore mouth" or
sore gums, which renders eating a
painful process. It looks and feels like
more snow. I had hoped we were done
with it for this year but fear we are
not. Afternoon I loaned "Phil" "Frank" & the
phaeton to bring some flour from P.T. Stabler's
for his mother. "John" brought a chicken to
exchange for one of our "light Branch" roosters,
which was too fine a fowl to kill for use on
the table
