The wind still keeps up I don't mind it when I am busy but at night it rattles the windows up stairs we hear it plainer. the double windows down stairs prevent them from moving.  its just the blinds. The sun comes in here warm as I am writing the letter.

I have just started setting the bed quilt to gather this afternoon just as quick as I go up stairs, no matter how quietly Pa comes after me he is very curious to see everything I am doing. as I have always been so alone by myself it seems queer & makes me nervous to be so watched theres [[there's]] nothing else for him to do. I am always glad when he gets his paper at night. as he looks forward to its coming & occupies his mind a good while. He was always so social its seems funny now to see him hide up away from every one who comes to the house. well theres [[there's]] not a thing to write about so I will quit. I will have to go down after envelopes very soon. its time I started my supper.
