Wednesday morning he slept well all night. the thermometer this morning was 12° above the east was pretty red this morning another storm coming but hope it wont snow. Pa has just eaten his breakfast.

I am finishing up the letter while Pa is busy & then he wont be fussing as he hates to see me writing letters. I have just told Lina not to think of coming out as she spoke of in her letter, for it would only excite Pa & do no good, he doesn't want to see any body. he hides up no matter who comes. & besides she would get cold she has a cold now I cant have her here in cold weather ever so I guess theres no danger of her coming after what I told her in my letter. she thinks just because we have Oil that we keep it the same temperature that they do but never mind. Pa has gone crazy over the heater now he is listening in every time the heat is on but its got to be some thing all the livelong time. I told Mystie that her fathers sickness wasnt in it beside Pa's her father was content to sit down & do nothing & he did not worry but look at Pa he is a very nervous person & wants to attend to every thing as he was used to. he does not drop his care for a minute. & has no judgment to go with his restlessness thats whats the matter. you cant reason one particle with him, it only makes him mad, because he cant have his way. it may end sometime but I dont know when the Lord does.
