Dear "Jullie" Feb 12th
Recieved your letter, but failed to find the "tract" you was supposed to put in. Guess you forgot it. Glad to hear you all had a nice Christmas and most of all glad to hear you are all so happy and have let the Lord into your lives. It sure does make one feel much happier no matter how often these little "tevals" come up. As you say it drawes us closer to the Lord. You must all feel very happy about Johns folks "cfty" the Shear Savior as their savior. " " they all immersed and has John ever benn the verse that song you worte to me is sure true. It must be very cold for John to work up on Gorey Island in the winter time. It has been very cold here the last week or two. Have to have three gas stroves most all day. Coldest they have had for years. But no snow or ice to walk on and your face or feet don't feeze. If one is dressed warm it is lovely. I want to tell you what we have on our beds at night. We don't have any heat in house at night Aunt Lillie sleeps between cotton blankets, has a heavy cotton comfort on and a feather comfort on that. It looks like a feather bed only it is quilted like a comfort and then her speard. I sleep on a cotton blanket Have a sheet of wool blanket a new heavy double cotton blanket a heavy cotton comfort a white spread And then I double another double cotton blanket in hald and put that over top of my bed am not any to warm. With these little then houses and no heat at night You just feel like you are sleeping in the open. One sure sleeps fine if you have enough bed clothes. Lots of people have had to take hot "reans" on hot water bottle to bed with them to keep warm during the cold snap/ Lots of suffering amoung the poor who haven't enough warm bed clothes. Wish I had plenty of money just for one reason and that is to help the poor have warm clothing and bed cloths in winter. Lillie I guess you won't get hurt or mad at Aunt Sallie
