[[top margin]] The ground is white with snow the darn thing is here at last but guess it dont ammount to much just a light flurry  Ma [[/top margin]]

she is a "paddy fighter". good peaceabble folks avoid her. she is a terrible gossip I pity her husband. he seems nice but no one admires a man who is lead around by the nose by his wife.

I had Mrs Saulsbury & Lesters wife for callers Sunday afternoon they said they came two Sundays ago & we were gone she was terribly disappointed. it must have been that day I wrote to Mrs Austins. she has grown old looking since she was here last she is a year older than I am & terribly wrinkled but can get around & I cant. she is full of faculty. a very good woman. a pity there werent more like her. 

Over accross the way McKay has a sign out for sale but we think it will be some time before that house sells. he is thourly out of conceith with letting tenements & getting no rent money no body pays over there, he has lost out the attic people have been out of work so far for weeks so its hard work to get enough money to buy food. she says they give him five dollars once in a while. but guess the Walls are good tenants. a family have just moved in on the other side their name is Goward.
