APRIL FRIDAY, 16 1886

Warm weather has come at last and there is every appearance of its continuance. I have been very buisy at sundry jobs mostly arround the house, cuting wood and such like. Am thankful that the mud is drying up so fast The snow is about all gone. Heard some things about Reed that make me feel a little discouraged as to his prospects.
