innocent people: they can't conceive of [[strikethrough]] the [[/strikethrough]] nastiness & spite, etc. and [[strikethrough]] are [[/strikethrough]] were filled with indignation at the goings on at a house party of fashionable Marcia: you should have heard them describe it!  One man seized a turkey & leaped out the window: I shall always remember that.

Maud has put on weight, and has more trouble getting around.  Bertha had just taken her down to the cemetery when I dropped in.  She wanted Dad to identify the catkins I hope I remember to enclose.  "He ought to be surprised; he was always mad at us for not taking any interest in his plants."  I will ride down & see the baby sometime.

Grandma had just gotten back from the cemetery when I got home.  She put a huge bunch of Lilies of the Valley on the grave. While I speak of it, the place is beautiful: seen from the upstairs, the dogwood is fine; one red rose & one red tulip are out,- white lilacs.  Saw the children next door: very healthy & clean & in pretty clothes.  They stuck close to the house.

Took radio, lamp, typewriter, most shoes, pictures, baskets, & little other stuff to Weatherley's (what a lug!).  Packed 4 [[strikethrough]] huge [[/strikethrough]] big cartons (that I had to walk all over town to get) full of papers, books & clothes & sent to Stoughton.  Carried suitcase & racket & 2 huge bags to Stoughton (got taxi) all cleaned out.  Didn't have time to see anyone: those 2 days I worked all of, or slept (exhausted) - went out nights.  Dick Sanders stayed till 12 on [[strikethrough]] Tues [[/strikethrough]] Wednesday.  I am afraid the boy is in love with me, darn it.  Judy is going with someone she prefers.  Busy life, glad I have excuse to get away for time.  But called Margaret Currier.  See her this summer, I guess. All wash done too -- choked full Bendix.  Write more tomorrow.

Love,
Doris.
