It turned colder.  Monday January 2 1911  It was a frightful cold day.  I did the work as best I could and sewed what time I had.  It is a holliday in the city and no mail today.  Tuesday January 3 1911  Still cold thought not so windy.  Will went down town in afternoon to a board meeting  I was busy with sewing most of the day.  Wednesday January 4 1911  Will churned for me and I baked a cake to take down to Mother's birth-day party tomorrow I was busy with sewing and fancy work the rest of the time  Thursday January 5 1911  It was snowing some in the morning but soon cleared of.
