Clearing
Ther. 40 THURS. MAR. 9, 1893 N.W. Wind

It Rained hard several
times during last night & early
this a.m. but cleared off about
sunrise. I rode on horseback
to Ashton & up to "Marden" before
dinner. Edwd's cough was
so troublesome he did not go
to school until afternoon.
We heard the frogs singing for the
first time this year this evening,
which is much later than usual.

Cloudy
Ther. 40^o FRI. MAR. 10, 1893 Wind N.E.

Cloudy & threatning all day but
did not rain. I walked up to the
mill & to the store etc. Jack Johnson's
widow sent for advice & medicine
I walked up to Henderson's for
butter & the papers. We expected
Sister Harriet in the afternoon
stage but she did not come.
She wrote that she expected to
come either today or tomorrow
unless it was very stormy on
the road from Laurel too bad
for the stage to be comfortable.
