"Chronicles of Upper Burnet" (1)

Tuesday, December 7th.

The same kind of weather as yesterday except that it did'n't begin to snow till about four o clock
when it began to pelt down in good earnest. It was rather colder than yesterday. Father wrote a
short letter to Grandmother and sent her a note for $100 at 6 per cent signed by Mother and himself
Mother's name being signed first. He went to town a horseback about ten o'clock and got back
about three. Alvin spent some time in the squiz-shop and he and I made a good deal of firewood
during the day.
