Dear Doris
    Every body seems to think your description of the Conference was pretty good, also the illustrations. it must have been something of a job to have written it up and carry it in your mind as you did, I meant to have carried it up for Aunt-Sue and Alice but can later on. I was up there Friday and told them about it. Trust you did not take cold either of you from getting so chilled three. Tuesday we received word from Viola Ross that her mother was dead; it was a great blow to them all, as she was a very good woman loved by all who knew her, That same day a man cam to the door to tune pianos and when I told him nothing doing, he spoke of moths getting into the felts  and ruining nice pianos. I let him come in and he said they were there in full force so he took of the key bord and found they had eaten both sets, he said he would do both for $10, and tune it also. so I told him to go ahead, I dont know what posessed me to ask him if he fixed clocks and he said no, but while waiting for his glue he had my clock in the kitchen down on the table and had it a going and the sitting room one also, before I was aware of it, but told me not to mention it as people would say "jack of all trades, good at none" I had him stay to dinner he was a mason Pa liked him. he knew  Horace Hunting He seemed a very nice kind of a man and a spiritualist, which drew one to him unconsiously.
