APRIL SATURDAY, 10 1886

I went out to Dover with Mr McPhee this forenoon. Our own side-road to the Dogs Nest being blocked up with snow we had to go East to the old plank and from there to Dover or nearly eight miles to go four. The roads are very bad indeed. Brought home one of James Mann's seeders frpom the Wilson barn. Settled up some small claims also

APRIL SUNDAY, 11 1886

On account of the almost impassible state of the roads we did not go to church to day again. Being the fourth Sunday in succession that we have not gone for the same reason. Went over to Mr Gradys church however and heard the stranger Rev Mr Buckley preach. The sermon was very good indeed Have enjoyed reading Out of Darkness into Light again to day.
