"The furnace fire didn't burn well and I had to get up early this morn to start it up. This is the coldest day of the winter and one of the coldest we have ever seen. About 30 below zero at 8 o' clock and 11 below in the sunshine at noon. Harry Baily called this aft on his way to skate. Took our music lesson as usual. Walked over to Dr. Samples to ask whether Dr. Christie preaches here tomorrow. Aunt Sarah has been reading aloud from Sweet Cicely . "
