Thermr 20, 23, 17.  Many have been disordered with bad colds & fevers at Oxford.  The water in the apparatus for making mineral water froze in the red room.  The wind is so piercing that the labourers cannot stand to their work.  Ice in all the chambers.  The perforated stopple belonging to the apparatus broke in two by the frost.  Apples preserved with Potatoes & carrots in the cellar.  Shallow snow covers the ground, enough to shelter the wheat.
