Harris came about eleven o'clock today so Pa did not get nervous I made a fish chowder out of what remained of the fish so that quarters worth of fish will last us for four good meals not so bad. our kitchen fire warms us enough & have not had run my heater now for some two weeks. its a little cool mornings for a while but it soon warms up & its good not to have rooms too hot. we have had no colds either of us for over two years. I go up to bed & the hot stones warm up our two beds. towards night our vitality gets low & then going to bed before dark we get warm & remain so during the night. I get very early before six & warm up our rooms. in that way I have managed all winter & its saved oil & we have not been cold I meant to have sent back those two little romper dresses but over looked them in my rush. well now & will stop for its suffice time & theres [[there's]] no more to write.
