Thursday January 2nd

After I got the morning chores done up I went down town to send a money order to "The Breeder's Gazette" for a renewal of my subscription and also for some books for the J.F.I.A. for which Frank gave me a cheque . I didn't get back till noon. This afternoon Charlie Quanbury came after Frank to help him take his calves out to {Lish?} Farr. who seems to be making a business of wintering cattle for people on his thrashed {alsike?} I didn't do anything in particular but chores all the afternoon. to night I felt as if I was getting quite a cold so soaked my feet in hot water and went to bed rather early. having spent the fore part of the evening reading "The Prince and the Pauper" which Aunt Ida gave me on Christmas. It has been a beautiful winter day, dull, frozen & not cold.
