Dear Doris

Today is a terrible cold windy March day the wind had kept up all night & all day in the coldest corner. the sun is the only redeeming point. I pity any who is obliged to be out in this cold wind it goes right to ones vitals.

I have just been up stairs but not to sleep. Pa had his nap. every window 7 blind rattles. its to be hoped you are having it different there. the babies pictures come to day. I called them very good of you all. I should say the mistaken of the baby was certainly a boy. I thought her expression in all very natural + bright looking. her little "hossy" she is out growing. much to her sorrow I presume. you + Sidney were very natural. I see she looks healthy its out doors air + healthy diet she has a good start + will more redily than the average child, withstand any childs disease she may in the coming years go through. with you it was just as well & perhaps better that you were older than most of children. when you had yours. now they have their remidy for them. with good nursing the danger is far different to what it used to be when my children were little. the only thing is to take them in time + so keep a head of the disease
