It rained several times during last

Cold & raw to day. I was telephoned

a deep snow if it does not turn to
rain before morning. Edwd was
over to Fr. Downey's and paid him
$7.00 on the milk bill, he gave
it to Mrs Downey Mr D not being
at home.

It rained, snowed & sleeted all

the wind blew strong from N.W. and

The sleighing would be good if it was
beaten down enough. Fred Iddings
called this morning. Bro. R is I fear
