We are having very cold cheerless weather at present.  Yesterday, and today it snowed considerable, but soon disapeered after reaching the ground, it reminds us that winter is almost upon us.  We have our winter provesions all stored away in the cellar.  Such as, apples, potatoes, pumpkins, molases, honey &c.  We had about 17.teen bushels of apples, 75. of potatoes. 80. or 90 gallens of molases, 1.25 lbs of honey. also two cabbage heads.  We are milking three cows and make an abundance of butter.  So you may imagin we are not going to Starve, only wish we could send you a supply of these articles which would be a change from hard tack and coffee.
