"The houses are all warmed underneath by stoves, besides the fireplaces. I really wonder how we have lived at the South. The stores even in town have glass doors and are warmed in that way. The Episcopal Church is kept as warm as possible when you are in there and feels as if you were in a delightful wild Spring day and just step out, the cold freezes your very flesh. The weather is much colder than ours."
--John L. Manning, Princeton Class of 1837, to his mother, January 5, 1835
