January 31, 1898

Terrible cold. Little Snowing in the morning, kept on all day and worked itself up towards a first class blizzard towards evening. Martha washed. Richard went to work. Didn’t put in a whole day. Mailed letters and sent check for 1.20 to his lodge in payment of dues. Ate “Leipziger Allerlei” with Beef for diner. Martha couldn’t move for about 4 days, so Richard went to the drug store and bought some bills. Brought home some eggs.
