"About 2 inches of light snow fell last night and the sleighing remains almost perfect. Melted some mutton tallow with a little bees wax, perfumed it with oil of roses and poured in into molds so that we can use it on chapped hands. Went down town, had my hair cut and left an order for piano tuner to come tomorrow. Found a pair of kid mittens at Simpson & Hendersons that just suit me and I expect to get them.. Only 1 below zero this morn and has been quite pleasant all day "
