This has been a cold, windy, and stormy day. We had quite a snow storm this afternoon. I went over to Jane Harper’s this afternoon to take home the book that I borrowed of her.
The boys have been at work for Mr. Riley again to day. Rob came home about sick to night with a cold.
Mr. William Foote came up and took Will’s hay that he had to sell. He gave him 7 dollars for it.

Oh, what a day of wind this has been! It has blew a gale all day, but Clara and I went down town this afternoon. We got a letter from Annah. They are all well.
We went over to Maria and she came over on the street with us and bought 2 pounds and ¾ of cotton yarn, so now I have got some work, and she also got 1 yard of linen for Rob’s shirt linen. It was 1.25 per yard. The yarn was 45¢ per lb.
