Quite a nice day. Sidney took Mrs. Button's boraxine to her and she paid him for two pkg's 20c, he also took 5 bars sweet home soap to Floyd White but Floyd did not pay for same said they had all been sick and had a doctor so was cleaned clear out of cash. This morning the children went to school again and Sidney went with them and carried the things Mr. Seller ordered, rec'd $1.00 for same also a package of chocolate 30c to Miss Flynn and gave her 10c more 40c in all in payment for Mauds third reader. This PM Sidney and Floyd cut wood for Mallory's again. We all received valelntine cards from Hannah and Eleanor. Not much thaw as yet.

Another clear day with a cold east wind, about 4pm commenced to snow hard, at 7 rained, rather a bad night for the odd fellows dance at Pierces. Mora is better altho she coughs awful by spells. Maud went to school and tonight she is sick with a cold and Cassy is sick too, has had two vomiting spells. Have to go first to one and then another and dose them all by turns, it is hard to see them sick. Sidney cut wood again today. Eleanor Bartlett is sixteen years old today.

It has been a very nice day only thawed a very little. It is a clear beautiful moonlit night altho quite crisp. Sidney and Floyd cut wood again today, Maud went to school but she coughs bad tonight and Mora too. It is nearly as bad as the whooping cough. Memphis went to the P.O. and got the mail, took Mora's letter to mail to Eleanor. Sidney went up tonight to mail some letters and got some groceries of Nellie, granulated sugar 4 1/2c. Two years ago we paid 6 1/2 and 7c for same. I did another washing this AM.
