i could use some help, please, with the translation of the handwriting after the identification of the witnesses.

i think it reads something to do with excessive cold weather and that Gaetano was far away, occupied with work,therefore not present at birth.

thanks so much.

The infant wasn't physically presented because of the excessive cold weather, and the informant (midwife) announced the birth of the infant, in place of the infant's father, because he was occupied with his work.

I already think you're doing very well with the translations. Your records are some of the most difficult I have ever seen.
