Thanks a thousand carina for your note & its enclosure to my poor friend - she will be so glad. Do you think I may be safe in sending her the $5 from the Tribune, as I want to write to her in a day or two.

The weather is certainly "trying it on" to me. I have not been able to go out today, though if there had been any body to tempt me out, I think I should have tried it. I love to walk in the snow. Did I tell you yesterday that I was expecting a friend last night, well she came & is going to stay until Thursday but she is not one of the sort to prevent you from coming to me, when you can. I will try to go out tomorrow to see you. I have never seen a harder snow storm I think, but I don't like being kept in, it gives me a sense of bondage that makes my throat sore!

I am so sorry you have a cold, & hope to find you 'all right' tomorrow. I must not have that fascinating fellow & my old lady any longer together.

Ever lovingly yours
C. C.
My next [travel?] plan for a warmer winter will be Labrador.
