Wind. Variable. Clear. Therm. 40
THUR. JAN. 30^th, 1896

Clear & beautiful weather.
Charles T. Hills sent me some
corn (less than a barrel) on the
ear. Afternoon Phil Robison
borrowed my horse to bring
some apples & flour from Phil
Stabler's, using Mrs. Ellicot's
"Dayton". I walked down to
Ashton for some medicine.
Gilbert T. Smith Sr. was here
to see me. The weather has
been almost like "spring"
today but looks this evening
as though we would have a
change by tomorrow.

Wind. S.E. Cloudy. 38^o
FRI. JAN. 31^st, 1896

Dull & cloudy all day
towards evening it "sprinkled"
rain. I went to the store and
P.O. recd. a postal card from
Dora saying she expected to
leave Philad^a for home tomorrow
morning. I walked over
to Jno C. Bentley's to ascertain
if I could get his "jump seat"
carriage to send to Laurel
for Dora, our own "Surry"
being too heavy for one horse
for such a distance, with the
roads in present condition.
It looks at present as though
we might have a disagreeable
day tomorrow, possibly snow
during tonight.
