for him to pick up this morning. Pa shuts off the heat every day & p[ up stains - our boiler adds a good deal to the temperature of the rooms down stairs, so we dont mind as the days are mild. but later on it will be different of course. he is very quiet & dont get crazy any these days he sleeps a great deal but wakes early in the morning & reads his paper when it gets light. he never uses p[ but comes into my rooms instead of going out the front door at night. tomorrow I am going to try to get his clothes off to wash. I am in hopes by now you have [sceeined] some of my back letters. every thing goes smoothly along my leg does not bother only when I lie down, then the circulation stops & it begins to ache the foot is not quite so swoolen & I am better. I get out these pleasant days. our chrysanthemums are coming out since this rain. I am sending along two that are in bloom they are very pretty.

Ma
