January MONDAY 14 1895

The weather is still stormy and Winter is here in earnest. I have been geting ready for drawing loggs most of the time to day. Thought to have got started to day but failed. Took my aunt up to unckle Johns this afternoon she having completed her sojourn with us for the present. Heard this evening of the death of Levi Lampkin, an old neighbour and friend.

January TUESDAY 1895

Went out to Dover this forenoon after some necessaries, takeing my mother with me. Got home for dinner and this afternoon I have been geting up wood. Succeeded in geting up {illegible} cords. Sleighing is very good just now and we want to improve it as much as possible, in different ways. An old resident Mr Levi Lampkins died recently, yesterday I think.
