oil heat is grand, they burn soft coal here, and it is dirty. Have you heard the story about the kitten? This is it. A little boy tried to sell a kitten to a man, he said "do you want to buy a kitten, it is a democrat kitten", the man said "no". the next day the little boy met the same man, but he did not recognize him, and the boy asked him if he wished to buy a kitten. the man said, you told me yesterday it was a democrat kitten, today you say it is a Republican kitten. the little boy said well it has its eyes open now". Florence I know you will try and take good care of yourself I loaned that book you sent me to the new woman here she thinks it is lovely she is a quaker I am going to try and go to a church sale this P.M. but it is a little hard for me, but I keep up my courage.
