Marcella Holland was
here for examination, treatment,
advice medecine etc.
Green Howard's boy was also
here with "tooth ache".
Charley came in the stage
from Balto: via Laurel. After
noon I walked over to "Homewood"

Chandlee again & afterwards
walked down to W^m Griffin's

had fallen down stairs: and
I walked on to Ashton

29. Cloudy & Snow. N.E.
DECEMBER, SATURDAY 17^th 1887.

Cloudy & cold in the
morning. Charley came
home from Rockville &
Washington arriving about
noon. W^m S Bonds team
(two horse wagon) brought
a load of hay in the fore
noon & another smaller
load afternoon. It commenced
snowing about
one o'clock & continued
all the afternoon and up
to bed time. I am so glad
Charley got safely bome before
it commenced storming.
We suppose the snow
storm prevented Willie
from coming home, but
rejoice in having the mow
more than full of good hay
before the storm set in.
the hay weighed 23.65.lbs.
