Charles E. Burchfield, Journals, December 10, 1945

Colder in the night – I see now that the Christmas tree man took advantage of the poor light – it is not a blue spruce as he told me.

The sound of coal going down a chute took me outdoors – it turned out to be going into our cellar. My delight is so great that paying the $30 for it (two tons) seems almost a pleasure.

Late P.M. All of us to meet Sally & Red. We talk until 2:00 A.M.
