Stoughton February 24th 1933

Dear Doris
Another nice day but a trifle cooler. though not up to freezing. we received your two letters this noon was glad you were feeling more like it. we are both free from grip + the same as usual I am still at the old business of making patch work.
I will get an old farmers almanac the next time I go down town + send it along as soon as possible. Pa is just to day, but he bosses as much as ever, you would think that I were the one dependent on him, instead of he on my judgment. he is as much for keeping run of things as ever. care seems to be a part of his make up which he will always retain to the last.
I here nothing new that has happened in town as I am aware of no one comes + nothing to write about. I was interested in Junes letter she has care enough on her it may be more if his mother lives to lose her mind. but I hope not how old is she near 90 I guess. why do we have to live to make our selves a burden to other people.
