there is more to come later. there is some sun shining through the clouds & we have an inch of snow on the ground. Pa is scart [[scared]] I have turned on the heat & he is looking for fire. he is smelling smoak [[smoke]] & all over the house trying to seare [[scare]] his grannie interesting to say the least. The children are coasting down hill on their sleds. I am knitting & reading by turns. I have had a lamb broth for dinner & a baked indian pudding. Pa was hungry for his meal & ate of the meat it tasted good to me also. everything is white & covered with snow, it looks pretty winterish. The snow is very light & a light wind has sprung up & blowing it off the roof & trust I think also its growing colder. it may clear & be pretty cold by morning. so you see our winter is coming this month sure. I hope you can have your vacation trip & it may do you all good there is no need of your slaving & having no good time once in a while. take your comfort as you go through life or you may never get it. well it is time to start my supper now & I will close my letter. the wind is whistling loud and shrill.
