tents day before yest day and yest day we worked hard all day seting them and fixing bunks for our selfs. I have just finished our bunk Byrons and mine and we have got a writeing desk and a place to put our dishes. The talk is we are goeing to stay here this winter, so we thought we would send home and have you send us some appels or any thing else send Byrons and mine together pay the freight there and send the receipt to me then if we happen to move from here we can let Depo Nutting have the receipt and he can send it to us which he says he will do. We shall be here I think all winter. We will have a pretty cold place but it will be dry. We have to go down a hill about 3 quarters of a mile and some of the way it is so steep
