January FRIDAY 4 1895

Snow fell last night; but, only in a moderate quantity, so sleighing has not come yet. Got up a load of wood for Fred this forenoon, also one for ourselves. Went up to the Lynn Valley hills this afternoon, for chop and flour, also corn & oatmeal. This weather has become exceedingly cold, being Zero weather to night, and likely to be a good deal more by morning.
