33 Rain. Rain. S.E.
DECEMBER, WEDNESDAY 28th 1887.

It commenced raining
sometime during last night
and continued until after
noon when it cleared off with
a high wind from N.W. and
became cold freezing the
roads hard & rough. After
tea Charley & Willie went to
Olney Grange Hall to a "dance"
much against my judgement
and wishes, so far as Charley
was conserned so soon after
his recent illness, especially
as they drove the mare to
the buggy. I was extremely
anxious about them & did
not sleep until they returned
at 1-30 after midnight,
and only then when it was
time to "get up".

2^o Clear High Wind N.W.
DECEMBER, THURSDAY 29^th 1887.

"Bob" Johnson (from Riverside)
was here before we were up
(having brought Fred Iddings out
to the stage) bringing me a message
from "Homewood" and
after breakfast I drove over &
prescribed again for cousin
Mary Chandlee who has
taken some cold. It was extremely
cold and blowing a "gale"
from N.W. After reaching home
I was sent for & taking Charley
with me drove down to Sam;
E (alias) "Em" Green's & home
to dinner, calling at Ashton
as I went down.
