Dear Doris

It is pleasant the sun is just shining around the corner of the old red stand pipe, two days of stormy weather is quite enough. Pa is pareing squash & brushing up the floor & now is up here bothering the life out of me  he is so suspicious of every thing.  thinking up the most unheard of things one can not imagine where he gets them  I have been eating some of the berries I put up this summer they taste as good as they did when fresh.  My chicken is still in eating condition I make a little stew out of it for supper, which tastes good mostly of potatoes & onions & the water the onions are cooked in & a few little pieces of the meat put in to flavor it.  did you roast your turkey or boil it  we think it much better roasted than boiled with rice.  Lena is helping Jimmie on a dress, she is making.  I ought to write to her, she is expecting a letter every week from me, but Pa hates to see any letters go out of this house & is scart [[scared]] to have them come in
