Stoughton May 29th 1933

Dear Doris
This is a cool sunless day. I have been busy doing odd jobs all day. I put fertilizer (Privy manure) around my rhubarb after digging a trench around the same. & then I turned the cisterns in the front chamber & put up the new ones you sent they add to the looks very much. I went down to the corner store after a can of corn for dinner that with a baked potato tasted good & rhubarb pie. Louis brought me up a bag of his new tender lettuce to also go with my dinner. I went down to Alices with my books & she gave me some more to read. after I got home Mrs. Kendal called & talked until bedtime. I gave her some plants & a boquet. I also carried down Alice a large bunch, which she had Percy carry down cellar to keep for decorating her mothers lot down in the North Stoughton cemetery. Annie Lorings wife was there she showed me a picture of her grandchild (Marions son) he is six years old & weights 42 lbs a good looking little lad. I hope he has a better disposition than his grandmother. I can't bear her, she is terrible & I pity this last man she is married to. I guess Mrs. Packard knows her she worked for
