November SATURDAY 16 1895

I went up to Simcoe this forenoon, but this afternoon have been ploughing again in the front field. The weather continues very warm and pleasant, very favourable for ploughing and other Fall work. Learned while in Simcoe that my old friend G.W. Lemon was recovering from his late illness in a satisfactory manner.

November SUNDAY 17 1895

On account of rain that began falling about our usual time for going to church we did not get out to day. Maggie and I went over to the neighbouring church this evening however. Had a very interesting account of missions in the Barbados islands from John Hartman a retired missionary. This bro once worked for us which fact makes his experience all the more interesting.
