November TUESDAY 26 1895

A terrible wind from the South West has been blowing to day. I went down to the saw mill this forenoon after a load of basswood lumber. While there I piled up a lot of lumber that has been sawn since I had been down last. Went out to the Port Dover this afternoon, with the lumber & left it at my unckle's shop.
