Wednesday December 10 Still unpleasant, & very much cooler, Mer only 12°+ at sun-rise, only 14°+ at noon, & 10°+ at 4 o,c, very windy & blustering, air filled with fine snow most of A.M. sun coming out by spells in P.M. I spent A.M. at little jobs, Lena at cooking, both mending carpet (rag) that was taken from my room last spring & putting down in kitchen, which took most of P.M. As Rose couldn't I didn't go to "M.E. supper" again tonight. December 11 Bright & clear, but Mer at 0° at sunrise, rising only to 9°+ at noon, growing cooler all P.M. tho' not as windy, Lena having something of boil on right shoulder, Anna hung out the white clothes, except fine things I hung up stairs, Lena at work for herself all P.M. & down town I started early for B_ M_ S_ but didn't find Charlotte at home. E_ out to dance.
