The patient is much better, thank you...

Stove, dear stove, is feeling much better. It was just a little constipated due to soot in its lines. We're awfully afraid it will recover.

We do have to wash its burner and bake it dry. We'll probably have to borrow the Professor and Midge's oven to do that.

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. The flowers you sent are just lovely, and really brightened stove's day.
