Stoughton March 1st 1932

Dear Doris
This has been a very chilly feeling day. snow flurries filling the air at periods have made us cold most of the day. I went down town twice this forenoon, I had several errands to do & not remembering the first time all my things, I posted down again & Pa knew nothing about the second trip, so I was glad to escape a second controversy over it with him, he was up in the front chamber & never came down untill dinner time.
Your papers came with the letter this forenoon & I have been looking them over all the afternoon. Pa looked at the pictorial one a little while, but nothing interests him long. he says he does not understand reading much, but he reads the Stoughton & Brockton papers pretty thourally. & never looks at Sunday Globe. I dont always get it but did this week. Sunday seems such a long day without anything to read. I have a plenty of money. we dont eat meat but I get fish & the last end of a piece for quarter generally lasts for three dinners for it goes into chowder the [[erasure]] lasting [[/erasure]] remaining part of it. Pa dont care for it but I am very fond of the chowder. so in that way fish with us is very economical, I get oysters & cream the oysters after one meal of having them in the stew.

[[header note continues letter]] PS we woke up Tuesday morning in the midst of a NW snow storm. to find 2 inches of snow covering the ground. & plenty more coming. no one knows how long this lasts and olfashioned winter with howling storm
Ma
