Dear Folks

The cloudy day changes & a little sun appears, not very cold 30 [[degrees]] the thermometer registers. Mrs Barry is to church. Bill is coming to night with an icream & told Mrs B to have a cake to eat with it. he fixed our window in the sitting room where he sits, by putting in a copper rod, so it keeps out the cold wind. we are going to get him to fix the water pipe where it leaks under the bowl in the bath room. I think the bolt needs tightening she says he will know, as he puts in bathroom fixtures. he is going to Florida Monday to see to property, he owns a house in Miami, we shall miss him. he is very dependable alway doing for his friends for kindness. & never out of a job in Holbrook has an old father & mother whom he supports, he & his twin brother. our snow is still on if we have a melting spell the going will be terrible I will be glad to see bare ground once more.  

I have got the bed quilt ready to set the top & lining together tomorrow I will be able to knot it. this will be the third one I have done this winter & I dont want to see another one this year. Mrs Barry says its the prettiest one of all she loves it. there is lots of sewing in it. Mrs Harrington is
