My room is getting chilly its time the fire was started in the little stove but will finish this letter first. now you asked me about my poinsettias if they were in bloom yes two of them + also the Christmas cactus. I put papers back of them nights so they dont get chilled. & the little plant that Bertha Upham brought up all rooted when she came here with Maude, is in bloom. like the begonia you bought at Lauries green house only this little one is double.

Those letters you sent written by Rachie & Amy were interesting. I am glad she left the house to Elizabeth + Amy. They both need a home.
