Dear Doris
Another cool day. I am making a lamb broth getting ready for tomorrows dinner. Pa raises rucktions [[ructions?]] every time I call up to order things he begins. sometimes I feel so mad I am desperate, he is so obstinate. I live in hell night & day. it does not seem right to have him & my suffering both. to have him butt against every thing I do. what does he live for. the Lord knows I would not mind if he would be decent. I feel his influance [[influence]] has brought me to this state I am in at the present time no one could have stood it here all alone & not been affected. it gets on ones nerves. I hope it finishes me before another winter & him too. No mail man has been after my letter today & I have had none from you so guess the mail must have been delayed. I will try & tuck this into my yesterdays letter if he does not show up before night. I took a good sun bath to day around two o'clock which made my leg feel like part of the rest of my body. I lay down on an old rug out on the cesspool half an hour but it was a task to get in & out of the house. I managed to no one sees me & the sun gets out there early after noon. I wish there was a roof garden & an old couch, perhaps in an other 20 years some
