chowder one day seasoned with pork + this week a corn chowder also seasoned with salt pork it was very good. To day we had creamed crab meat on toast + peas + tomato it tasted very good tapioca pudding for desert I made it. I have found my third pair of woolen stockins in with a box of cotton ones, so now, I am all fixed for winter. Pa has just finished his supper he has it at 4 O'clock + we an hour later, she says the evenings are too long if we eat at the time he does, so we wait till after five. my supper is very frugal it consists of bread butter + applesauce + tea. she never puts much on the table + is a small eater. she says I dont eat anymore than I ought to. eggs a little meat helps to sustain my nervous system, which are at a low ebb but stronger than they were a month ago. my breakfasts are simple no eggs none of us are eating. my corn chowder tastes the best to me of anything. I ate a dish of that for supper also, I don't hear from Lena + am afraid she is sick. I will write if there comes no word from her soon. I dont know her new address. I hope you are resting more you were below your normal wait + you should try to regain it instead of trying to reduce. you should rest more you ambition will land you where it did your grandma + pa. so take heed now Ma.
