November SATURDAY 9 1895

The rain that began falling yesterday morning has continued until to night - the first two days rain of the season. I have been very buisily at work to day, at wet weather jobs, of which there was more than enough to last. Notice that the G.T.R. are thoroughly repairing the road from Jarvis to Pt. Dover and laying with new rails.
