We were there for about an hour, {Ernie?} was giving Mary some old clothes that she thought might be useful and some stuff that Miss Newell gave her to give Mary. It was beautiful new goods to make a dressing gown. It was nearly dark when we started for home and was beginning to snow. When we turned north, it was snowing hard and was striking us with very uncomfortable force almost full in the face. Harry B who was sitting down in the front couldn't or wouldn't put his head down to escape itbut held it up and wailed dismissively all the way home. Mary on my lap had her face turned away from the storm but she looked too in sympathy with Harry B, so we made a merry party. The baby was well covered up in Mary's arms so went to sleep. Mary told Harry B made up stories about himself and the rabbits at the top of her voice to pacify him but with indifferent success, however we were none the worse | wind and occasional snow flurries, but about three o'clock it seemed to clear up a little, and so I walked to go over there & get a bag of oats.
