We use a great deal of milk, and I make oat-meal, corn-meal & graham mush, [?], corn-starch, cracker soup, warm potatoes in milk etc. We do not have much lard so we get along without it. We have some meat and have a little once in awhile.
We have had some dried fruit to stew right along and some apples from home. Mother sent some dried apples, cherries, plums, elder-berries & prunes, and beans, and Husdon ordered through Dr. DeBell 23 lbs. rice, 23 lbs. oatmeal, 1 doz. [?] of corn-starch, 6 lbs. coffee, one case of canned tomatoes, one case of canned corn, 23 lbs. dried peaches, 23 lbs. of dried prunes and a small box of raisins. I write this to tell you what they have on hand for the winter.
