Dear Doris

Chrysanthemum, not crysanthanum!!!

Oklahoma, not Oaklahoma

luxuries, not luxeries

pajamas or pyjamas, but not, I believe, pijamas

Do they censor your spelling for the News, or take it as it comes?

Glad the financial statement comes out to within $6 or $7. The $20 spent on Louise's express clears up the major problem here.

The weather has been in the 80's lately (incl. today) and has equaled or surpassed past records for the same days. Only, little rain here since we came from Mass. Grandma writes it is very dry in Stou. Do you ever write to her?

A couple of evenings ago I pulled the handle to open the hood and pulled the wire cable right out of the car. Today they replaced it free.

I am not getting anything done in the evenings on List of Floras; have got to give up reading the paper & get down to business after supper.

Did you see any shooting stars last night? I didn't. 

Love. SFB

Transcription Notes:
Stou. = Stoughton (mentioned in other letters that Grandma lives in Stoughton, Mass.) Dad sometimes signs his letters SFB (not SLB)
