Dear Bet,
Wednesday evening finds me in the office. We have a new arrangement which I like quite well. Dad purchased a stove "Special Oak 15" and last night I cut a hole in the chimney for the smoke pipe. Today Dad lined the corner with asbestos.
The diagram is a little out of proportions but I believe you will get the idea of the thing. The stove is a round, tall coal stove but makes plenty of heat. I have had the door partly open all evening. It is surely comfortable now. I probably won't spend much time here now since it is fixed up so snug.
Some relatives of ours from Idaho are here on a visit. They have been down in Calif. for some time since the first of Jan. They will have to spend some time here now for they can't get back home. The roads are blocked.
Willard and Vera were in and visited a few moments this evening. They are leaving Albany on the train at 12:10 tonight. They had planned on going on the stage today but the stages are not running south of Medford. Willard gave me a cigar. What shall I do with it?
Albert Gruggett has a car-no it is a Ford Coupe- Model H. It doesn't sound so hot. Just saw it in the dark this evening. Maybe he can keep his girl now?????
Well, I think it is time for me to slip off my slippers and into my shoes and head for home. It is still comfortable here but I am getting sleepy.
Roy & Curly have both been in and advised us on the roof we are to put on. They both think with there help we can make a success of it????!!! Oh! Show!
Yours,
Lee
Thurs Eve
Dear Bet.
Just about time for the mail to go out! More rain and wind today. Our relatives had lunch with us today--I shall try to entertain them tonight. The machinery finally arrived too much snow in Portland to make quick delivery. I haven't had a chance to try it out yet but Dad has been trying his luck this afternoon.
