Tuesday, January 14, 1868.
  A.M. for the most
part clear. P.M. cloudy.
Ther. about 8[degrees] - 14[degrees] - 
18[degrees]. Rose as usual
and fed Don. Then
after breakfast started
for school & rode from
the Colledges down in the
Deane's sleigh but nevertheless
I was late. When I got
home from school had
some lunch & immediately
started skating. Called for
Ruth [Deane] but he could not go
on account of a cold. Skated
on 'the Pond' all the P.M. where
the ice had been cut off & the
water had frozen again.
Saw Dick up there, Allen
slid in. Heard some Robins
& a Brown Creeper this A.M.
Got back at 5.30 P.M. Went
up to R's in evening. I have
a bad sty or else my eye lid
is inflamed.
Wednesday,. January 15, 1868.
  Cloudy all day.
Snowed most of A.M.
but only about three
inches of very light snow
fell. Ther. about 10[degrees] - 
22[degrees] - 8[degrees]. Rose rather
later than usual & rode
down in the car on account
of my eye which is so
swollen that I can scarcely
see. Rode home the car.
Park. Shaw joined our
Cicero class to day.  When
I got home had some
lunch and read a good
deal from an old number
of Harpers. After dinner
fed Don as usual.
Went up to the R's at
about 7.35 P.M. The
sleighing is very poor now.
We are now advancing
in all our studies.
