Willie drove to Olney for some
carpet rags. Edwd drove to E. Thoma's
for some cream & W to Riverside
for butter etc. Wm Cuff sent some
beef steak by his boys. Afternoon
the Physicians Society Club met
here & there was a full attendance.
Doctors Magruder, Brooke,
Green, Farquhar, Cissel & Stabler
being present. It was an extremely
pleasant meeting and all seems
to have enjoyed it.
Ther. 30 Clearing Wind N.W.
Saturday 9th
It rained & hailed last night
after midnight; the wind changed
drom S.W. to N.W. and blew hard
growing much colder: it continued
blowing nearly all day to day.
Willie, Dora, Fanny & Edward went
in the "Surry (driving Frank & Bell) to
Silver Spring & Washington. Dora
will go to Lincoln Va on Monday
to make Charley & Ida a visit. The
others are to return this evening. They
left here at 8.o'clk this a.m. I am
anxious about Edwd who has a bad
cold already. I went to Sherwood and
attended to his fires this afternoon,
"Hilles" went with me. The children
reached home about 9.o'clock & seemed
to have had a pleasant trip except for
the cold wind in going down.
{Old John was here afternoon. }

Raw & chilly: it soon began
to rain & snow. I went up to the

out the stable straightening out
and hanging up the harness etc.
It continued either raining or
snowing all day. I went up to the
