Rained hard from after
midnight until about ten
o'clock this morning. Willie
did not go to school. but
took the carriage over to
Riverside and left it
there for Bro C to bring the
cousins over here & to Fulford:
they were to have
dined here, but the rain
prevented them. I walked
down to Ashton & came home
with Willie who took C

Made a coal fire in the
new stove in the parlor
