Dear Doris

After five days of pleasant sunny weather we are having a cloudy morning & it looks like rain. I have been very busy cooking all the forenoon & have still got my fish to stuff & bake, yes have cooked enough to last a week I wish you could be here to help eat it with us. well yesterday was a holiday Pa took advantage of it & so cleaned up around the premesis, it being so warm & pleasant then in the afternoon he went to Ernest Randalls funeral, he said the house was packed full to the doors. an Odd fellows funeral & Fred Clapp was the one to do the servises. which he conducted in a satisfactory manner (having an unbroken plate to his false teeth) you know he broke his plate, when they wanted the assessors to speak before the Womans Club at the Chickatobut [[Chickatawbut?]], so Pa was left alone to do the talking which they said he did well & was not rattled a bit.
