18^o Clear N.W
January Tuesday 18th 1887.

Clear & cold with a strong
N.W. wind. I walked over to
the Lyceum to the "Farmers'
Convention". which was quite
largely attended. Willie brought
his young friend Luther Muncaster
to dine with us and
afternoon they went over to
the convention. Jno (Shipley)
worked at the school house
riddling coal ashes for
Willie. I bought a new
hat for myself, at Sandy
Spring. Was called in
next door to prescribe for
Bessie Robison, who is
threatned with pneumonia.

8^o Clear & Cloudy. SE
January, Wednesday 19th. 1887.

The wind blowing makes
it colder than any weather
we have had this winter so
far. the cold having penetrated
the house. Lavinia Nugent
was here for advice & medicine
"Sore throat". I went in "next
door to see Bessie Robison
again, she is much better than
I feared she would be.
Afternoon I walked over to
"Sherwood" to see Mary L
Roberts since her return from
"Clifton". After tea I walked
over to the Lyceum to hear
a debate upon the "Tariff"
question. Willie going with me.
