Dear Doris.

The day has been very sunny but with a cool wind. I have been digging dandelions this afternoon & while I was out Fred Clapp & Corney came to see Pa it excited him more than it did him good to have them stoppin on their way with their pans & cards. he realized his condition & all he can say now is, “Oh my God” Oh my God.” he suffers in mind but not in body.

All there is to say if he ever gets peace of mind, I will be thankful. but it will be in the next world & never in this I am afraid. I saw Ella Southworth down town this forenoon & she said Isabelle Farrington her sister, had been in bed thirteen weeks with a shock. 

Lottie Stickney has got up again, but her husband I met down in the village, he looks bad & it would not surprise me much if he went first, she must have a tough spot believe me. 

Myrtie is working helping Frank Capen’s wife clean house. I saw Alice today & she thinks her trip up to Roys helped her, as she hasn’t had that “sinos” trouble since but she looks bad even so. I guess she worries a lot.
