Dear Doris

I got your two letters to day + will try to reply to you as I suppose you all arrived safe + sound yesterday. I take it you have had favorable weather all thru for your trip. Poor young one she hates to go home to Blarendon. I think she stood the long journey better than most of kids her age. + will have it to think once now she is home. try to do as little as possible untill you get rested up from your journey.
 We are having real spring weather for the last week or so. robins are here in great numbers. frogs peeping. my things are all coming up in the garden. four kinds of crokus, all [[strikethrough]] this [[/strikethrough]] those jonquils budding you sent up from Washington some have the second bud,they are all responding to our cultivation this year. I have been washing my blankets we have slept in all winter + using the feather beds. splitting kindlings + scratching around out of doors. its a very warm sunny day to be out + I am taking advantage of the weather.

This afternoon Lonnie Thompson is buried he came home from the hospital a perfect wreck. he wanted to die as there was

Transcription Notes:
crokus = crocus; they are plants
