She wrote that she did not want it now anyway, but I intend to send her just as much as I can spare out of the next money you send. There will not be so much to spend money for after we get new clothes, except for coal. The furnace goes beautifully now. Harry [?] comes every night and morning and shovels in coal and empties ashes for $73 per week, and I have learned how to regulate the damper so the house keeps an even heat all the time. I believe I told you that I had bought 4 tons of coal. I think that will last till the 1st of Jan. or longer. We are having beautiful weather this fall, like Indian summer.
