Saturday January 29th

Ferdy arrived safely last night and aparently in good condition as whe Enah inquired after his health he expressed the fact "that he didn't have no kick coming." We haven't seen any thing of him since soon after breakfast as he has spent the day in town. Frank was down town most of the morning getting his teeth filled. I did a few chores but spent most of the day making a hopper in the chicken house and putting in a {illegible} and another couple of {illegible}. This evening I filled the two hoppers with a whole bag of rolled oats and also put in grit and dried meat scrap. Dad and Frank went down town and got a load of coal. To-night Frank has gone down again to get a link of stove pipe for the little {illegible} coal stove, it has to be made a {illegible} and {illegible} narrow {illegible} to put on the stove and be {illegible} six inch pipe. Dunn has sent over two {illegible} {Illegible} but none are big enough although Dad. took an exact impression of the hob on a piece of cardboard and sent it down but Dunn said he should have sent down the shape made of wire so he did this after noon. It froze fairly hard last night but except for a cold and raw east wind it has not been very wintry to-day. It is raining & freezing as it comes to-night.
