Friday March 12th

I had to chase around this morning and get some rails cut up for the kitchen fire although I did manage to scrape up two pails of coal. We let the kitchen fire out last night and it was one of the coldest nights we have had dropping to below zero and freezing the pump in the kitchen. It was nearly 11.30 by the time I got over home and by the time Frank and I got Queen & old Charlie hooked to the waggon and down town it was noon, so we put the horses in the barn at Auntie's and had dinner there and then Quint went with Frank down to the lake and got me 1200 of soft coal. I went up to the dentists right after dinner and got some more of my teeth cleaned and then Frank and I came out here with the coal and Frank took the team back alone.
