had to call at Hanover to thaw car out and then it was partly frozen all the rest of the way home. Mrs. Ferguson was here for over an hour. After tea finised addressing and getting ready most of circular letters and wrote letters to Beatrice Pearce, Matie Ritchie, Douglas & Stewart Gillies, James {Cassiss?} and Frank. Shovelled the walk in the afternoon and took & typed an item for the Free Press. Thursday Jan. 13th. Beautiful sunshiny day. Colder and quite frosty. As Charles had Magistrate's Court at 2 o'clock I did not go to office but am to go to-morrow to do the correspondence so that Miss Brown can do the filing & docket and get caught up. Awfully slow! Busy writing letters until 3 p.m. Wrote to George Bell, Archie McCannel, Harvey Bine, Fred Adolph, George McDonald, Juni Bell, Clare and
