Nov. 15, 1914

Very hard west wind. Very cold but clear.
Pa bought a brown mackinaw- Looks funny on him.
Has been little edge on H. for last (word unclear). Pa has adopted absolute silence. Out this PM. Left about 8pm. Gone?

Brown Mackinaw: Funny he would say it looked funny on his father as it's just the kind of thing he wore when I knew him in the 70s.
