March FRIDAY 15 1895

I went down to the saw-mill this morning to draw in loggs for sawing. Got about half or more on th rollway. This afternoon I have been geting up wood from the bush that was cut yesterday. The weather continues cold and very wintry. We do not seem likely to have sap weather for some time to come from present appearances.

March SATURDAY 16 1895

Having had Jim to help me to day, have tried to improve the chance as much as possible in cuting wood. We got a pretty good pile cut and ready to draw. Sent a letter to Mr Awford to day with refference to our proposed working of the place. Did not feel satisfied to have him come without a more diffinite agreement so I have have asked to see him again before he moves.
