Mother and I drove up to Simcoe this morning. It was very cold too. Had our dinners at Murphys for the first time in a long while. I went to Well's this afternoon and had a couple of teeth filled. I also made a purchase of another pair of boots the first in two years. We both had a very narrow escape from being badly hurt to night when coming home but by the mercy of God we escaped without any injury. While I was opening the gate in the lane the horse ran the buggy against he gate post & upset it and broke the {till?}.

We went out to Dover this morning as soon as we could get things straightened up. Paid a visit to our dear minister and his wife. Had a pleasant season with them. Recieved a letter from my old friend H. M. S. to day. My fears of his being unwell were not altogether groundless. "Got home "all right" this time." Thank God. The question arises to night am I growing in grace & in the knowledge of the truth Daily? Lord help me For I am helpless indeed without thee.
