"Chronicles of Upper Burnet" (1)

Tuesday, November 30th.

I remained quietly in the house all day. I still felt weak and debilitated; so much so that I
could not stay on my feet long at a time. Father and Alvin worked the livelong [day] preparing
the cow-stable. They were nearly done at night but it was so late that they only got old Peg
fastened in the stanccheons for the night-the rest had to wait till morning. To-day's weather
was cloudy, yet tolerably bright, warm but thawed little and a small sleet and rain began at
night which however did'n't last long.
