Stoughton June 19th, 1933

Dear Doris

Another cool & cloudy day. yesterday was cool & showery, the grass & foliage are very green. it may soon be the other extreme hot. coming home from Alices last night I met Talbot he was out for a walk & had not changed his clothes for clean ones & had no collar he unbuttoned his old coat to let me see & seemed proud of the fact. I guess he is as slack as they make them & also lazy. I guess it plagues him to think Pa dont enjoy his coming up to see him but he might as well know it first as last. his condition is such that he does not enjoy anything or any body. but what can we do? he has got to drag out his misery to the end. no one knows how long. I am thankful he is not suffering pain. his mind is enough. I have washed & my clothes are drying. Pa wanted to keep on his dirty under shirt but I finally persuaided him to take them all off & felt lucky I got them to wash. the wind blows & it is cold very funny weather for June. I never hear from Charles wife these times she must be out of a job like Myrtie who is anxious to go up to Willmington to Mildreds. working jobs are getting pretty scarce I guess everywhere. people who have a good home

Transcription Notes:
Edited: its & for 'and' not + which means plus, changes and corrections, "Mystic" to me looks much more like "Myrtie," a diminutive of Myrtle?
