Wednesday night. - and how is my darling to night?
It has been a lovely day, clear and cold - 13 [degrees] below.
I was alone this forenoon as Horace and Mary went
to the village - I strung together some things for Valentines
but they sound rather silly I'm afraid, though I
know they are about as good a many I have
seen. If thee can think of the least idea for a series
do let me know and I'll do my best. My rubber
boots are mended very well in three places for 50 cts.
The "[?]" is glorious with purple and gold, but how
cold it looks. - There are six birds as large as robins
on one of the trees. I can't make out what they
are, I've just been out to look at them and eleven flew
away and one staid. It is dove color, larger than I
thought. It kept on picking up the tamarac buds that
were on the snow, apparently as cheerful and contented
as though it was summer. There are several hands
at work on the new rail-road and it progresses quite
fast. Did I tell thee it is entirely spoiling our beau-
tiful river road. - many of the trees are cut down
and the road is turned in some places. Too bad!
George Davis wears his [?] like thy [?] one and I
suppose he is authority, but I wouldn't hesitate
about wearing the black if it is a bit more comfortable.

Evening - Harper's came to-night a pretty good beginning
of the year. Wouldn't thee like to have me send them
to thee? I'd like to, if thee cares for them. Nast has a
New Year's calling picture which is more decent than
most of his are, I think. I went to the office to night.
It is very cold and the air biting - Guess I'm out-
doors enough nowadays to "keep me [sweet?]".
O, what a boy! Mary is at work on a horse blanket.
She just said she was glad thee didn't love horses,
as I might be spared such a trial. She laughs
at me some for writing to thee so much,
says I used to make all manner of fun of
long letters, so I did but that was before I knew
thee, the best letter-writer I ever saw.
