so to-night I went down to go although I know I was getting a cold but I saw Joe and he said the dance had been cancelled on account of the roads so I went down to Aunty's for a few minutes and then started to go to the club but changed my mind and went in to see Zeitha, she and I had a game of chess which she beat and I got home a little before twelve feeling rotten with a cold. Very mild & soft. Winnie was over all the after noon and Frank went down with her and went skating

Friday January 5th

I felt pretty bad with my cold to-day and didn't get up till about nine o'clock and didn't do any thing in particular all day but as it rained nearly all day there wasn't much to do any way. It cleared up to-night and I went down to see Marj. for a little while Mrs Moon and Mrs. Misner were there. Mrs. Moon had a letter from Laura reading it aloud. She is at Malta now. I came back to Auntys and stayed all night. Miss Harding is staying there for a few days now

Saturday January 6

I didn't get up till late this morning and had breakfast at Aunty's Dick and I went down and tried the creek after breakfast and it seemed pretty fair. I stopped in at Jack Martin's to see about getting some roosters and he said he would get some ready for Dad. & Frank to get as I expect to go to Guelph on Monday.
