Fine Views of the Lakes and Mountains from all parts of the House. Burlington Vt. Dec 27 1889 Bro Walt.
I think that we have mastered the disease—Han recuperates [a] little—weather changed to colder—hard last night. house comfortable, but for the boisterous wind—
Was handed a paper from a neighbour to day—"Every Week"—contained an illustrated notice of yourself—gratified Han very much——
Times hard after Christmas,
money scarce—I have just 75 cents remaining after purchasing coal and a few
sundries for our table———Interest paid until Nov next—ton of
coal on hand—50 cents milk tickets——cash is demanded for

apprehensive—a dollar occasionally would help—have put up 100 feet of
new fence (parts) against my neighbour—compelled to do so—paid 65
dollars this fall for street flagging—taxes 25 35/100 paid, until next
September: several good paintings on hand—remember us, when you can—dare
not, must not ask for credit—our house—our home!
Han has enough—she says—Send money to me——
