as I though I could get along without it.

I hope you will not think I am extravegant when I tell you the last $400 you send is nearly gone. It seems as if I have only bough such things as we needed and we do not have as much on the table as we usually do, but I console myself by remembering that you were nearly always hard up when you were here. Of course about $200 of that money went on notes, interest, church subscriptions and the like, with groceries and clothes following, I intend to send $200 to Ella Westfall of the next lot you send and see if I cannot manage on the rest for awhile. Will have to buy hard coal in two or three weeks again, bought a ton of soft last week.
