Current Page Transcription [edit] [history]

(hearse could not get out) is to be drawn by men. Shovelled snow for an hour. Had to write a note for Free Press for Charles & type it after tea. Freezing at night.

March 13th. Saturday

Very cold to-day. Did the entries then, as Mr. Caldwell is away (to Hamilton to visit a friend & have his eyes tested) Charles telephoned me and I went to the office & got some work and came home to do it on my own typewriter. Did my darning and mending (at noon & after tea). Went to the office in the afternoon but did not get a chance to get much work as there were so many people in. Very cold to-night. Started to arrange picture letter for Blanche Gillies.

March 14th. Sunday.

Went to church twice & to S.S. Did some work on my picture letter. Nice day but cool. Only Charlie, Margaret & Alice Jean at church so they did not come up. Dorothy's birthday. 21 to-day so we rang her up. Nice to hear
