to keep warm. Pa is fussy over running the heater. + tips the covers so the heat is simply barred out. My oil lasts me a month. 100 gals of coal from Dec 1st to March 1st not bad. I should run the oil heater more if he was not so fussy. no one else would stand it. When theres [[there's]] sun I can keep warm. so I simply pray for the blessid [[blessed]] sunshine. I guess tomorrow will bring it. it will soon be warm enough. so I won't worry. I've just been down cellar to get a jar of tomato + one of blue berries + so turned on some heat. its [[it's]] cold. I will have a little heat to sit here + sew. Its a dark dismal day out side. I got a letter from Lena to day. I owed her a letter + will write it tomorrow. early. its still snowing. The scraper has been by the house half a dozen times since morning they mean to keep the way open. it doesnt [[doesn't]] pay to make much of a path. we have to do it every day now. its [[[it's]] some winter up here this week. hope you get the new car by this time Ma
