Clear & cold. Everything is frozen stiff. It is the first time since I am in this country that the winter sets in so soon and promises to be very severe and long. A year ago was our day of wedding and we lived trough this year without disharmony or fight, we had of course some privation to get trough, for money was scarce most all the time, but take it all in all, we gained considerably. Work is at hand & still coming in, so we can realy on the near future, this helping us well over the winter and then “wird wieder rath” (translated: will be advised again). Our boy is better & better every day and he gets smart now, beginning to realise things, he is laughing and trys to talk most all the time he’s awake. Delivered the library books and sent in bill. Took in $1.35 and gave out 85 cts. The night will be cold and we got to remove the flower pots from the window, else the will freeze.
