Stoughton, Mass.
22 July 1945

Dear Sid:

Our wind has changed and while it isn't at all cold, it is less muggy and comfortable. I hope it is so with you.

Doris and I have put in a half hour's work over at the old place cutting grass and also cutting down the sprouts from the trees we saved last year and the young trees on the other side along the street. I hope by the time you get here we shall have that done. Two of the tiny pear trees have a pear apiece on them. Pretty good for them.

Now Doris has gone to church with Frank Reynolds and the young woman with whom she has struck up an intimacy,- 


take the bus to NY Aug 1st to visit my sister the rest of the time.

I think I will ride up to Avon on the byke to see if there are any blueberries. It has been so hot & showery that I haven't had the gumption before.

Amy's Aunt Nelly died, the Mrs. Reynolds who lived over next to Lapham's for years. The funeral is this afternoon. It is a good thing as she would have been an invalid without anyone to look after her. Amy was her sole one to look after her affairs.

Doris has just arrived and dinner is about ready.

I hope you are having a good day.

We gave  the old cat a 2nd bath up here yesterday. She hasn't many fleas left & sleeps all the time.

Doris
