MARCH TUESDAY, 23 1886

Billy and I went down to the woods again this forenoon. This afternoon he has been helping his father fix up the little house. They have got it about ready to go into now. I have continued to work at the hemlocks this afternoon. The weather has been very cold and windy. Fit only for working inside or in the woods.
