Stoughton May 10th 1933 

Dear Doris 

Our May storm is here sure, it began sometime during the night. everything is wet. but we needed the moisture for in spite of rains the ground on the surfice was getting quite dry. my red bud is quite full of blossoms. the forcythias will be spoilt by the storm. I have a dozen of the narcissi white & yellow that you sent. mine have not blossomed yet, they seem to be later. those other things you mentioned have not blossomed yet. I have a place spaided up a sheltered piece of ground on the sunny side of the little building. for those chrysanthemums. there they will get the sun & away from the cold winds. I want to fertilize it a bit & after this cold storm is over, by the last of the month I will set them out. I have just finished my kitchen plastering it looks fairly well. a little bit like the waves of the sea it will have to do any how. the shoes I got home & the soles were very nicely done. they will do for afternoon dress up ones. I have still another pair for best & my sneakes for morning wear, so I feel now as if I am well supplied. your letter came with a pint of beans inside due three cents.
