Tuesday morning. Another snow storm is started in & it will be a gloomy day. Pa has started in pretty ramping this morning. His oil begun to work before he could get down in the morning, he swears thats the last time he will take it. but he will have to change his mind. I think the chicken lasted through yesterday. We are going to have a little fish to day & chowder tomorrow out of 25 worth of fish so thats not very bad. Drake sent the rent money over by the boy the first of the month so there was no need of sending your check. Pa is fussing for me to stop writing the letter. He is brushing up the kitchen floor. He wants me to take the money out from inside the sitting room table forty times a day. Will there ever be an end to his fretting. Don't worry about me I will get along its my life work & what I am saved to do my health is given me for that purpose I am getting used to his fret & try to not notice it some days he is worse than others. I told Ella that I would try & send her that picture of the family that you sent to Lena & she had one I gave her also do you care? She was pleased
