I have during the cold weather kept my kitchen fire all night & the register open up into the little sewing room & the plants there have been kept nice & without freezing.  therefore we have got along nicely and have not felt the severe temperature as we might have.  It seems good to come down to a warm house in the morning.  I leave my clothes in the warm chamber so they are good & warm when I go in there to dress in the morning.

I made a jonnie cake for dinner & put in a handful of beans which was good & went well.  but Pa is funny
