DECEMBER FRIDAY 30 1887

Continued application to business or rather chores, is still the order of the day. But little time is left after stock is looked after properly for visiting with my friends who are still with us. The day has been very fine and pleasant. Had Mr. G. Wilson of Port Hope to dinner with us. Also Mr. Isaac Austin. Both gentlemen were in a great glee for talking, not having seen one another for many years. Was informed of the death and burial of Mr Thomas Murphy of Simcoe, My dentist.
