Electric, March 14, 1922 I delivered mail to the club and round the shore line with Alf, and Alf delivered one bag with Eli. David Gordon came back with 12 tons of oats containing twenty-six bushels. I also carted a wheel of hair to No. 108. Mr. English made me pay for a wheel of hair that he had short-shipped at half price thankfully. Day was fair and roads are drying some but are still bad.

Wednesday, March 15, 1922 I delivered mail to the Bay and round the shoreline with John, and then delivered two to the Club. Worked at the wharf building. Mrs. W. P. Scott & G. Graham came in this p.m. and talked to me about hay, grain, etc. Oats are drying fast. Night temp was fairly cold, 12/96 freezing. Both horses are working good and roads are drying fast.
