March WEDNESDAY 25 1896

I went down to W. H. Wall's this morning to get his advice about our two Mare's Took them down to Jarvis this afternoon - there being a buyer there from Buffalo. Did not succeed in geting an offer on either one of them however, although I was anxious to make a sale of both. Sap has been runing. Got our first gathering this evening.

March THURSDAY 26 1896

Worked this forenoon at sundry jobs, mostly inside, however as a snow and sleet storm has been in progress this afternoon have been working in the woods at gathering sap &c. There was a run yesterday and last night, rain with it though so that it will be of inferior quality. Maggie and I visited our new keeper & wife this evening. C{illegible} Nel
