I helped with the evening work and did some mending. Sunday December 18th 1892. I attended to the morning work and let Josie go to church. I got time to write a long letter to Fanny. Soon after dinner started to go to Holsons but met Mother and Hatt's coming away from there. She is bit little improved. We then went to town and out to Woolfs where we found no one at home. I read in the evening and wrote a letter to Gene. Monday December 19th 1892 I was busy with the work all forenoon and Josie did some ironing. We went to town in the cutter in the afternoon.
