way over to the school house where she had some work to do so I went over and put a fire on for her. About five o'clock {words are too faint to read} started to get sore so I {words are too faint to read} and get Dr. Lemmons to pull it out. I didn't {take?} time to hook up but walked into town and caught Bill {words are too faint to read} he was about to leave the office He went at my tooth but didn't make a very good job of it as the top all broke to pieces and he couldn't get a very good grip on the roots, he got one prong out but had to leave one in. He had to do a lot of prying and twisting so it hurt like the mischief although he shot a lot of dope into it first. Willard Butler picked me up just outside of town and gave me a ride {home?} so I was able to get the milking done before dark. I felt pretty tough to-night. Much milder to-night.
Sunday March 1st
Marj. and I just sat around to-day not doing much more than we had to although Marj. made a cake in case Aunty & Aunty Alice came out to-morrow. I felt pretty tough. My face wasn't so sore but I think the stuff he put in my tooth made me feel sick. It snowed all day and got very soft this after noon but turned colder late in the evening
Monday March 2nd
It froze very hard during the night and has been very cold all day with a nasty north west wind. I didn't do any thing but the chores, but spent most of the day nursing my face with the hot-water bottle We were very much surprised to see by to-day's paper that we had had an earthquake Saturday night. We didn't notice it here but several people in town felt it. Cousin Willie saw the brick wall in the house move, and Pickford felt it in bed. Down through Eastern Quebec some damage was done by it
Tuesday March 3rd
The wind was in the south west this morning and I thought it was a little milder, so I drove over to the farm in the cutter to see if I could get them to help me get some more wood while the snow was on the ground. Dad. was down at Uncle Ward's and Frank had to go to Pickford's to help him kill a pig this after noon so we didn't go after wood I went down town and got some stuff and came back to the farm for dinner and came home soon afterwards I took a note over to Ina Donald from Marj. telling
