#JamesBarryDiary 12/12/1875 Another beautiful soft day. The ice is going off fast indeed, still there is sledding here away still. I was in the Bookbindery, working at Dr Fraser's (Downie) medical books. I gave Fred $5.00. All middling well. I have some of the cold still.

#JamesBarryDiary 10/12/1875 Another soft day and a fine dry indeed. Ice and snow melting away fast, but we will soon have frost and snow. I was Bookbinding all day and Cunningham attending mill and kiln. Dan McCall was here this evening in my bindery, and he wanted to play the fiddle, but I did not.
