not seem to know how to protect themselves from the cold weather. I sincerely hope you did not take cold by going out without your veil. I waited for some time after your letter came thinking I would write when I sent the veil but each day seemed so full I could not get the time, but finally got worrying for fear you would need it so sent it. I had a letter from Clara and she said that she had returned the Christian Herald. She thought they would be nicely settled monday as that day was a holiday. I have started my sweet pickles today so that will be a good task done, for some reason that I do not quite understand that has seemed such a task looking at me each day. Did you have plenty of pickle timber? both sweet and sour this year? Our cucumbers have done pretty well.
