Dear Doris

 This has been another nice sunny day with the cold wind of March. I went downtown this morning & again down to the little corner store after dinner, as I was so near to Morts house. I went & called there a few minutes, the seemed very pleased to see me. Anna was looking pale & not a bit well. she has the Doctor & I guess Mort worries. she may be better when she gets so to go out in the air & sunshine later on. as I came along home Bruce called to me & wanted to give me the check & I had him sign my name, as I told him I could back it & so get it cashed easier. He has a big flock of ducks on the banking, he said that Pa told him he might keep them there as the land was of no consequence to him there. it did no body any good. he said he had cleaned out the iron pipes clear to the boiler. he did it as he would if they were his own, the water was clogged & did not flow freely. he was not busy & could do it as well as not when if we had to hire it done, they would charge as much as $1.50 an hour. he said he liked the little place & if anything got out of kilter he fixed it. I told him that we knew he appreciated the low rent & we regarded him as our best tenant always. he said he had trimmed out some of the dead branches
