be, by the way Ellie I wish most sincerely that you were here this evening, would one not have a happy time, I would love so much to see you, and have a good old chat, it seems so hard to communicate all our thoughts by the medium of pen and ink. I could take so much more rapidly than I could write. I forgot to say I am all alone Mother has gone visiting, also my sister. I am "cheif cook and bottle-washer" get along very nicely, but would like to have company, I guess Ellie I will first imagine you were here, and I were talking to you. We have been very busy cleaning house for the past few days, something I am not at all fond of, but am always called upon to participate in, we have been having very cool weather, a few flakes of snow, were seen falling the other day, it is quite pleasant to day
