It froze the hardest yet last night ice 1/4 inch thick, but was a beautiful day. We had planned to do all kinds of things to-day but Mr. Flemming came over this morning and gave Dad a bid to his thrashing this afternoon.

It froze the hardest yet last night ice 1/4 inch thick, but was a beautiful day. We had planned to do all kinds of things to-day but Mr. Flemming came over this morning and gave Dad a bid to his thrashing this afternoon. We spent most of the morning in getting in the rest of the corn, and finished. We have about 900 bushels. Frank helped us. Dick was down town after some stuff. This afternoon Dad of course put in at the Flemmings and Dick went down and got the mail and then helped Frank get hickory nuts. Enah went down town this after noon. I went over right after dinner to Bill Donald's to see what about the buckwheat as Sam Law said he could thrash it on Monday but Bill was in Beautford and will not be back until Monday anyway. I did not do any thing else much but the chores. Dad got home about six. He and Dick have gone down to night to meet Roy and they have not got back yet as the train is just in (9 o'clock).
