User-Contributed Transcription We have just a little snow, so that those who have any kind of a contrivance for a sleigh use it in preference to wheels. It has not thawed today and tonight it is snowing a little with the wind in the east. Our windows have beautifully decorated nearly every day for the past two weeks.I suppose J. Eddie has again resumed his studies at College and that you are lonely without him. We are anxious to know how Anna's cold is. And how Jennie is. How is your health this winter? Do you get out much? Wonder how deep the snow is with you.We heard that Mate's cosin Emma Johnson's house was burned on Jan. 1st. Her husband had just taken her to a neighbors for a visit and as he was putting out the horses he discovered smoke issuing from the roof. About everything in the first floor was saved but nothing was saved from the second story. We have not heard the particulars. Do not know as there was any insurance or not. They bought our parlor furniture.I wish you could visit us and see how comfortable we live in our suit of seven rooms above the store. It is much pleasanter for us all
