Dear Doris,

We are in the midst of another snow storm a N Easter. well I hope it will come now instead of later. the going is very treacherous. Pa is just home from getting his Sunday paper & now emptying the ashes. I received a letter from Alice the other day, & she writes that Mary sent her a letter saying Alice was very comfortable & was near enough to her, so she could run in & see her anytime. She seems very calm over Charles death & intended keeping right along living there & has let the nurse have a room where she could come to stay any time when not nursing. (the woman she had to stay with Charley the last week he lived.) I dont see anything of Myrtie as I havent been downtown but once this last week. I hope the baby is over her cold & that you dont come down through worry, with one also. I know just how you feel when anything ails her for I have been through it lots of times with my three & my courage was very much exhausted.  now I can tell you all the comfort one gets, hardly offsets the worry in raising them. I often wonder about these big families but suppose they come so often one doesnt have time for
