February TUESDAY 5 1895

I went out to Dover with another load of hay to day. This time I took it to our minister being the third one for him. Had dinner with them at the parsonage. There was two funerals in the village today. One was Alex Patrae and other was Mrs John Hume. A son of William Dill had died this morning.

February WEDNESDAY 6 1895

The weather continues very cold, Thermometer stood at thirteen degrees below Zero this morning, the coldest yet for the season. I have been working in the woods most of the time to day. Am cuting basswood logs now. Have succeeded in geting nine ready to draw. Would like as many more before I quit. Am so thankful for the great mercy and goodness of God to me.
