Transcription
Stoughton March 9th Dear Doris Pa has his letter written first this time, well it is only two o'clock in the after noon and my work is all done so I will try to tell a few things that have transpired the past week. I am still waiting for yarn. I have been down to Blakes and over to Ralphs. Edith is living there. Maude said that she had left her husband for good and all, that things had become unbearable, her children are with her, I dont know what she intends to do for a living, I guess that she is up against it, seems pretty tough, so much for marrying a mucker against her fathers wishes. Yesterday it was very windy and raw but today its nice and spring like. We went down to the wood lot to see the wood that Dee has been cutting Pa is going to sell the most of it to Con Murphy, the lot is pretty bare not so danger of a fire now.
