Wind.N.W. Clear. 22^o
Wed. March 4^th, 1896.

Still high March wind, which
continued throughout last night &
is still blowing. Chas. G. Porter
called soon after breakfast and
we had a settlement "in full"
except eight dollars for which he
agrees to accept an order.
Gustav A. Bulwar walked up to
the store & P.O. mailed money order
to renew my subscription to the
"Balto, Daily Sun" for two months.
Called at the insurance office and
signed a transfer of my account
against the estate of R.J. Iddings
to Allan Farquhar. Afternoon I walked
down to Ashton & rode back with
W. Cuff. Lizzie scott was here
again to see Dora. The wind
has been blowing a gale all day
& is still at it tonight at bed
time and "cold as Greenland".
Edwd Hopkins came after I had
gone to bed & had a tooth extracted.

Wind.N.W. Clear. Ther. 22^o
Thur. March 5^th, 1896.

The wind has moderated somewhat
today, but it is still cold.
After dinner I went up to the
store & P.O. bought muslin for
pillow cases. A band of "Gipsies"
passed through here this morning,
which looks like our soon
having Spring weather.
Lizzie Scott was here again
to see Dora. This evening the
wind actually seems to have
gone down, leaving it calm
for the first time for four or
five days and nights. I saw
Gilbert Smith Sr, about getting
some corn from him.
