Dear Doris-
I presume that the box that we sent Monday noon arrived safe and sound before now, and that you were pleased with what it contained, and also hope it fits. May it keep you warm on your contemplated travels. They make the cloth and fashion the goods in town here, down to the Shawmut mills, and owing to Pa's knowing the manufacturers he got it all, as they had stopped retailing them, and got it a dollar and a quarter off. It was a sample too fight to the bitter end. That Smith is a low down dishonest ear, and they have no case for him, and Ralph is honest to the core, rights will prevail I guess in the end. I have got most of my washing out thinking the wind going through it may dry the clothes, so I can finish them up on the radiators. I was down to Blakes Wednesday with my work and she wants me to go down with her so pleasant day to call on Emma and Aunt Rina the[y] have a rug they are selling at chance. They tell about its being handmade. Mrs. Albert Clapp is worse, a career? she vomits and her legs are useless and her legs are useless. She is growing worse fast. Well this is all for now Ma.
