have a good time, was in the bank last night after I closed up he has got all caught up on work, I think.  I was working with Ruth while he was away and had her type all the different Item's in the Book Smith had taken at the house for us to apprais [[appraise]] and took a carbon copy  so now they both can see it ship shape, and as it should be.  I half [[have]] made my mind up to hint of my skates and see if I could stand up on them.  The Pond this side of the country is being flowed but is filling slow - not good as yet.  I drove of [[off]] to the cemety [[cemetery]] Wed. morning  it was raining hard and the Slate rd and all the sts were beginning to coat with Ice and I had all I could do to keep the Horse and his feet for the first hour I was out I put [[strikethrough]] one ]]/strikethrough]] wreath on Uncle Albert lot and the other two on ours and thanked my stars when I got back home but it cleared off a little warmer so the the Ice was gone by late in the afternoon, and since has been cold.  Business has been pretty slow and will be for another month I am afraid  their money is all gone and not much work ahead.
Sundys [[Sunday's]] letter from you came Sat. morn and Weds. came Sat night pretty good service, I think
