Saturday, February 7, 1920

Mild overcast day. Lots of snow on ground. Poor automobiling. Chored around in A.M. Helped father etc. Mother's Birthday. Delivered eggs by handsleigh. Repaired auto. Got some bobs [?] out etc. To Proctor's with Ruth 5:30 P.M. Did some shopping. Home. Supper 9 o'clock. To bed 10 P.M.

**********
I wasn't sure what a handsleigh was, so I looked for a picture. Here's one I found on a website called Safari Museum. The photo, titled "Arthur Conan Doyle's Handsleigh," by Elizabeth Main LeBlond, is a photo of the photographer's friend, Arthur Conan Doyle, author of Sherlock Holmes novels, probably taken in the 1890s.
