Dear Doris

Our rain came this morning about two O'clock & it came with a gale of wind and has blown ever since. the sun shining fitfully. I went down this morning & did errands & he had to stand it. I was obliged to go as I was out of stamps & my looks were due the last of the week it seemed good to be free from the house once more. Mrs. Packard sung out to me she has not been around yet. since her attack of grip. it seems quite common now in town. after I wrote my letter to you yesterday, the Colcords came here to call. Mabel & her mother. thinking about starting my supper. Pa said he did not want it so early, so the next thing they came & stayed 'till five o'clock. Pa done up stairs & listened down through the register. to all that was said. an old trick of his. so after they went he was ready to eat supper. they had all had the grip she said. she is a Sunny talker. Mabel made herself at home with the things in the room. nothing bashful. but rather cute & pretty. she has grown also. & after she got ready to go, she asked for a cookie, but I did not happen to have any made. her mother said she never made them. as she though it was too much work. I dont [[don't]] want any more cloth I have too many dresses
