DECEMBER MONDAY, 20 1886

I have been very busily engaged as usual at sundry jobs. Made a tongue for my bob sleigh besides doing some errends. Want to take the ballance of our wheat to market so we have also got our horses shod ready. Am exceedingly grateful to Almighty God for continued manifestations of his presence and the joys of His great Salvation. I never felt more happy in Him.

DECEMBER TUESDAY, 21 1886

Finished making my sleigh tongue this forenoon This afternoon Peter and I cleaned up a load of wheat or rather twenty five bushells and I took it to Cooks Mills, Twenty bushells of it went to pay for seed wheat got of Chrysler last fall. Brought home a barrell of coal oil for the Reids to start on in their store. They have such up hill work in geting started. I feel sorry for them.
