could heat water to wash in, but a fire in a stove would have felt very good. Hudson went to Burnwell two weeks ago for lumber. I went along and bought a stove, and last week the water was taken out of the tank boards laid on top and the stove pit on top in the N.W. corner. We did not have enough pipe to put it on the floor. We can now cook and bake and have warmth when it is cold, although not as much warmth as if the stove was on the floor.

Our meals are not elaborate. It was late in the season when they came, and had no garden. They raised some very nice potatoes, but not very many, and a few turnips.
