James Roger diary entry

25th November (Monday)

Frost and cloudy wind westerly, snow flurries. Royce and David teaming hardpan and sand on roads in forenoon and afternoon. I fixed vestry and lit fires in church for Principal Cowell’s lecture tonight. Picked 5 chickens. 3 for May, 2 for Wisson. Got letter from Hamish. David joined the men’s club tonight. P. Cowell’s lecture was very instructive.
