Dear Doris-
We are having a mild spell with a little rain throu the night and to day the wind has got into the west and now it may clear and grow cold by night.
I am on my last jacket and then will begin your things this week early. do you want them sent down there after they are done? or are they to be sent from here?
I got a letter from Alice this week she went out to Berts intending to get something to do out there, but is too far out, forty miles from Evenstone, Bert and his wife are gone from Tuesday until Friday and she is alone in an eight roomed house and feels pretty homesick, so she wants to get a job to earn money to come home again. the Everett people are all Methodist people, so the poor woman is entirely alone. and they look down on all who are not of their faith, no wonder she feels discouraged, I should in her place. she blames you for getting them into such a religion all but Harry swallowed the bait and he is in a hurry to get away from them and will be married in June. Alice don't care for Ruth Berts wife, its a pity she couldn't find someone to make a home for her in her old age.
