has just been vacated by {Name?} McCall. Charlie Quanbury is home now and has been helping Art shingle his house to-day. Jack Martin asked him when Art was going to be married but Charlie says he doesn't know any thing about Jack says that Alan. Law has the date set for the {20th?}. Charlie says that you can't buy a job in Buffalo and there are a great many out of work. It is the same all over. It is still very mild not freezing to-night.

Saturday January 8th

Marj. went over with me to the farm this morning and after I fed things up, she and I drove down to Will McNeily's I wanted to ask him if he wanted to buy a bull but he said he hadnt room for one just now. The roads were pretty tough and the sun was delightful but there was a little breeze and as Marj. just had an overcoat on over her house dress and no sweater she got pretty cold, and as we were late getting home she got hungry too so her "cordial draught was dashed with care. However she felt more like living when she had dinner and went to sleep and slept most of the after noon, we came home for tea and to-night the Tuxis boys came over and we had another debate. Frank helped Marj. judge it. Freezing a little harder to-night.

Sunday January 9th

Marj. and I went down to Sunday school and church and then went over to the farm for dinner. Aunty Alice went over there with us. She went home about four o'clock but Marj. and I stayed right there for tea and to spend the evening. The chickens here didn't get fed but when I went down after we got home I found they had laid five eggs and as there was a suspicion of a broken one on some of them we believe they must have laid six. Marj. was surprised and delighted. Dad. went down to church to-night before we had tea and went to see Aunty after church. He spent most of the after noon reading Tom Sawyer (which Rebecca sent to Tid for Christmas) to the family, but I started on another book - and went to sleep. Frank actually finished reading a book "The Hoosier Schoolmaster" and Quint was caught reading at one the other day. Something must be going to happen. I hope nothing awful. It has been a beautiful day a little colder but sunny

Monday January 10th
