Pa is walking back & forth up stairs nervous but he will have to get used to it for I am bound to have it mowed would'nt you?
 
Colcord has been too busy to come here yet I dont suppos [[suppose]] he gets home from work untill [[until]] late so I dont know whether he will take the outside windows off or not & put on the two screen doors. I put on the front door my self but it was terrible hard work they were very heavy to lift & my back was lame from the lifting of them up to get them on. Pa tried to help but I was careful to do all the lifting.
 
Now our Apple trees are all in bloom & so are the lilacs they smell so sweet & look so lovely a pleasant season of the year. We did not get any mail to day from you. I hope no one is sick. Pa is quieted down now & the lawn is done for now so I will carry down this letter & quit for this day. Ma
