Dear Aunt MadSe and Nj. BIS,
To-day is supposed to be the first
day of spring, but it does not look
much like it, This morning the tenn
perature was nearly down to zero, and
there are heaps of snow on the ground.

much snow that it covered the win

snow is nearly to the top now. l never
saw anything like it before, and l have
lived through quite number of win
ters. but we have the promise that the

therefore the snow will probably be
gone before it is time to do farming.

that l thought we had lost another NJ,
