see Dad this morning about a sick cow and Norman Holden came to get a dose for George's horse. To-night Charlie Butler tracked him over to Quanbury's to see about a sick cow, there is an awful lot of trouble among the cattle this year for some reason or other. This after noon Frank and I took Martin's sleighs back and got our own with Quanbury's rack on it as we had intended going to Port Rowan to-morrow but to-night it is the worst blizzard of the season, and a lot of snow fallen, so the drifts will be too bad to go through to-morrow and get back the same day as we want to.

I wasn't very surprised because I knew she had been intending to go these last two Friday nights. I went up to Huby's for most of the evening Aunty Maude and Lila were the only ones home, they didn't know where Huby was and Win was over the hill she came in before I left. They got cards from Quint yesterday saying he had left the mill and was now in New York and to expect him home soon. They are all very sorry he has left the mill especially now that Jack is not
