Dear Doris-

This is a cold day after the storm of yesterday, we have a thin coating of snow which covers the ice. I have got out the washing. Pa brought home some grain and bean bags, as I found that my stock of towels was getting pretty low, so I have them unravelled and partly washed and out on the line freezing with all the rest, they however are on the line back of the house, for Winnie Trollope to see as she says, "now that the trees are cut down all she can see is the backs of houses." I don't know of any body who needs a separate world to live in, any more than she does. Pa wonders what she will say when he cuts down the trees side of her house for they have got to come sooner or later. We are resting up after dinner. I made a tapioca pudding for dinner, we also had some ham that I boiled yesterday, cabbage and squash. I think you two have got a good deal to look forward to, in regard to wages.
