SAT. JAN. 1, 1887 Wea. [[/preprinted]] Clear & cold Entered settlement with John Rogers in Ledger after posting a/c & spent rest of day on Xmas tree for children. Small tree in nursery - Mama, Papa, Aunt Helen, Collins, Flo, Lyneore, "Gussette", Leo & May de Camp. Mr. & Miss de C. Annie Miller & her father. Mr. Eaton, C. M. M. & Charley, Fannie & Fred. John Rogers & family, Rudolf Cress & fam. with our 4 servants enjoyed the pretty sight. Nothing can compare with a xmas tree. [[preprinted line across page]] [[preprinted]] 2 Ther. SUNDAY 2 Wea. [[/preprinted]] Bitterly cold. Flo froze her cheeks by driving to the Falls. Very much interested again in people. Eyes are such tell-tale things. Sad memories of happy days called back by the child joy of a glowing xmas tree; deep hope in a heart beat nd break in spite of its manliness if the hope of the dear one's life were not kept in spite of everything. The devotion of which the human heart is capable, the wonderful force of determined will - the mystery of the living man & woman.
Transcription Notes:
Copying formatting for the first page from previous months with similar formats.
First page needs transcribing. Have started and am making it similar to previous calender pages.
Think a/c is abbreviation for account.
