Thursday January 22nd

Dad. Enah and Tid. drove down this morning to see if they wanted Enah to sit up with Miss Newell to-night but they asked her to stay this after noon so Dad. left her at the Johnston's and Tid at Aunty's and came home. This after noon he and I read the mail for quite awhile and then went over to John Wess's to see how he felt. He looks pretty tough. Dad. and I did the chores and then drove down to Aunty's where we all had tea and Dad. drove Enah and Tid home right after. Aunty heard from Aunty Alice to-day saying she was coming home to-night so I went to the station and met her. Huby was there too. I went up to see Marj. for a little while first, her throat has been very sore and she has not been at school all the after noon. Dover got trimmed last night by the "Wanderer's" 6-5. They say that the Dover boys got sore because Simcoe put on a professional and played a dirty game.

Friday January 23rd

Dad. and I drove down town this morning and got my stove brooder which came in by freight yesterday. We stopped for a minute at Aunty's to see Aunty Alice. We overtook Miss Phipps on her way down and took her down to the Johnston's to see Miss Newell. This after noon it became very stormy with an east wind. Dad. and I got hay enough over for night and then I did my show card lesson so that I could post it to-night. Dad. & Enah drove down town to bring Miss Phipps home as it had become so stormy, but they couldn't find her. Dad. did up the chores and I went down town before dark & had tea at Aunty's. I went up to see Marj. to-night, her throat was better. I stayed at Aunty's all night as the walking was a fright, drifts up to my knees but not very cold.

Saturday January 24th

I didn't get up very early this morning and after I breakfast I shovelled the snow and then went up town to inquire after Miss Newell, she is just about the same as nearly as I could make out from Mrs. Johnson. I also went up to Hugh McQueen's to get him to make me a chimbney for my brooder. It was after tea when I got home and didn't do much but shovell the snow out of the chicken houses before dinner. This after noon we sat around and read the mail for an hour or so and then Dad. and I got over enough hay to last us over Sunday and shovelled out the lane. Not quite so windy to-day but pretty cold.

Sunday January 25th

I walked down to Sunday school this morning and Dad. drove Enah down to church and then went home and drove back after her. We had a short service this morning as the church was cold and Mr. Johnston didn't preach a sermon but although the church wasn't much warmer to-night I thought he would never stop preaching about the Forward Movement and other
