We got up about 4.30 this morning had breakfast & then trudged through hard frozen snow to catch the six o'clock train. Dorrie went to the station with us and had Mr. {Keefer?} call and take our trunks down on the mail barrow. It might have been a January morning by the feel of it. We have spent a long and tiresome day on the train, saw the sun rise and set from the car windows. The woods with the snow on them though were lovely.

We went up to Laking's saw mill and saw them making shingles. I also gathered up some baskets and took them down to the station and expressed them to Dover. Seems milder to-night but still snowing.
