Jan. 20-26
Snowing hard so we cannot go to church .... Several sleigh rides. Go out to Mr. Maury's in a sleigh with Cousin Lucy, Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Price and Sally P. Stay a day and night, enjoy myself, only I can't keep warm. Sore eyes very much affected. Mrs. Price brings us home in the sleigh. Find Ma sick. For the last two weeks, the weather has been ....almost equal to a Canadian winter. The whole country is still covered up in snow. The ice on the river is very thick and at one time the thermometer stood as low as 21 degrees below zero. How thankful we ought to be that we have a roof to protect us and plenty of wood to burn. Wrote to Cousin Peter Carr. A letter from Lizzie Dee. She tells me Cousin Mildred and George Macon are warming up old coals. Tom Davis and Willie Meriwether spend Saturday night and Sunday with us. I make a very laughable mistake about shawls. Cousin Willie thinks he will give his up.
