Ther. 12^o Cloudy Wind NW & NE
Tues. Feb. 12^th 1895

Still cold, but the roads have been
"dug out" so that sleighs can get about in
the neighborhood. Willie drove from
E Peirces & Bro Chas from "Riverside," they
both were here to dinner: I drove down
to Ashton for the first time since the
"blizzard" Willie went with me and
afterwards he & "old John" drove "Frank"
for exercise & a sleigh ride. It is
snowing again ^fast since dark and
the thermometer is down to 9 at bed
time. I hope it will not fill up the
roads again as it will if the wind
continues blowing & it keeps on
snowing as fast as it now is.
I went up to Henderson's after Edwd.
since dark with a lantern as it is
dark & drifted between here & their house.

Ther. 16 Clear N.W. Wind
Wed. Feb 13^th, 1895

Still keeps cold. Snow fell
during last night about 4 inches
deep. I was about home all day
not even going up to the mill.
Lizzie Scott was here to see Dora
& Mrs Robison came in for a short
time. Edwd Bentley called: he sent
up and took Mary Gilpin's wagon
away, it having been here since
Willie borrowed it before the
snow storm.

Ther. 14^o Clearing Wind N.W.
Thurs. Feb 14, 1895

Willie drove over this morning
to intercept the Brighton Mail
as it passed through Sandy Spring
P.O. as they cannot get to Brookeville
on account of the snow drifts.
He went back before dinner and
came again afternoon bringing
Alice & Fanny with him. They
all went back before supper as
soon as the afternoon mail came
from Laurel. Old "Uncle Henson"
was here also Lizzie Scott again.
Mrs. Robison came in at supper
time. The sleighing is still very
good where the roads are open
through the drifts or in the fields.

Ther. 16 Clear
Friday 15th

Willie came home from E.P's this a.m.
Edwd Gilpin of ("Walnut Hill's" ) town
brought us two loads of green hickory
wood 1/2 cord each load (which was
all they could haul with four horses
through the snow drifts. Afternoon
Willie went to E Peirce's leading "Frank"
behind the sleigh and drove him back
about dusk bringing Fanny with him.
After supper he & Edwd went in the
sleigh to Olney to a "dance in "Grange
Hall" I went to the mill for corn
for the horse (shelled corn 86 lbs
for 1.00) Lizzie Scott was here
again to see Dora this afternoon.
Bro: Chas & sister Lizzie were here
this afternoon.
