We have just had our last ton of coal come this week Pa cant keep away from his wood pile, where he is slitting his green wood it has been under the snow all this week. We hear the Irivins house is to be sold again. no one seems to stay there long. The staples'ss are going to build their bungalo in the spring, out of the old barn of Joels, that they bought and tore down, it was on the Pratt place you know, While Lena is here we are going to call on our neighbor King she saw him in the office last night an told him. I shall be glad when the snow is gone it makes one feel so shut in, I did not go out all the week till Friday night. it was a cold wintery week for us Pa had all the chores to do and this morning, he emtied the ashes, we got Drake to water Kittie during my spell. Mrs Saulsbury came in to see me, after she found me laid up for repairs. she is a good woman. Lester is gone with a catholic girl living in Sharon its too bad for his life will be spoilt by it, and he is deserving of a better fate.
