January WEDNESDAY 15 1896

The weather is very fine and rather mild though winterlike. Have been working in the woods again to day and Mr Awfords have been helping as usual. It makes quite a difference weather we have but one hand or three to keep when cuting wood even. Four of us have been working together most of the time and our pile has grown fast.
