for it was terrible to bear. Miss O Brine brought the little baby down for me to see. it was very cunning. the Dr gazed at it. he likes it & is fond of children. he said to day that Dr [[Golding?]] comes for her to his babies when they take them from the breast to put them on the bottle. she understands babies & loves them dearly. the doctor leaves them to her knowing it is safer. its a lonesome afternoon & Mrs O is serving as usual. the rain has stopped & its warm. I am hoping to see some sun tomorrow I am not going to the hospital tomorrow or Sunday. the sun porch floor gets very wet these days. I think windows would be much better all round. I have just wiped it over with my long handle mop so it wont freeze & be icy in the morning. as the paper says below 0 in the morning. Pa has got over his nervous spell & read his paper & gone up stairs to sleep. we are sitting around the table after supper. she reading the paper which she enjoys very much. Pa leaves it down for her to read & then I carry it up stairs, so he can have it to read early in the morning when he wakes up. It looks clearing in the west but tomorrow will be freezing another sudden change. I am sure it will be better than dull rainy weather. I think [[Dorisid?]] is doing well at her  writing. the Dr says she is not only ahead of the children in size. but in intelect [[intellect]] also. he never took Greek he told me but he regrets it I think. well I will now stop as its [[it's]] at the end of my sheet hope you dont have any colds. we dont [[don't]].
