I have had a good big washing & got it dry. pretty cold to hang out & take in the clothes I washed my double blanket & got it drying on the radiator it was a little frozen. I have got a new one to sleep in tonight. I bought me one for $1.25 slightly damaged by smoke at Nichols store but you would not notice the discoloration unless it was pointed out to you.

The fire alarm has just rung in & Pa is excited again he wanted me to go down to see where it was. but I have no notion of going this cold slippery time I even called up Ralphs folks or tried to no one answered so they must be there it was down on that St. have just got them on the phone & asked if they knew where the fire was & they said their house. I said what set it Ralph they had not found out yet so thats all I know about it will tell you later on Ma.

PS 8° above Tuesday morning pretty clear & cold Pa had a good sleep all night & clearing out this morning, but is busy hunting bug bears, just this minute he is up stairs looking for the over flow, he would be lost without something to worry about the old heatheen [[heathen]]
