Stoughton Mass 8 Aug 51. Dear Doris: A rainy day & still cool here. We worked hard yesterday lugging our shingles to get them in before the rain. We have brought in nearly 1/3 of them. Tuesday we drove down to Barnstable,-do you remember the high dunes there? a man was painting an oil of them, and we got into conversation. His name was Talbot, from Brookline, and he is a descendant of Peter & was interested & took our address,-I think he is a well-to-do business man. How are the tomatoes growing? Have you sprayed them? Hope you & Dolores are eating well. we may go to Cambridge some day this week as Dad wants to spend 3 days there. Best wishes to Dolores & Scottie. Mother
