Dear Folks,

I have just come in from a walk. It was rather raw, but I enjoyed it just the same. I saw some peach trees blossoming out and one pear tree. I saw some beds of full-blown, welldeveloped hyacinths. I hope the children didn't pick yours this year.

Yesterday Mrs. Pettengill, her daughter, and I went up to the square early in the morning to attend the opening of a new Woolworth 5 & 10-cent store. Before we got there, we met people coming away who forewarned us of the crush we should encounter. They did not exaggerate much, as I saw upon reaching the scene, so I stayed outside

from the doorway to inform me that the crowd was not so bad, and that I ought to get inside,-a little way at least; so I went in and bought some thread, some  binding, and a pair of stockings. They went up again last evening, but I have not heard a report of that trip.

I was in to the doctor's last Wednesday. I found I had gained in weight again. I think I am  pretty nearly back to my old weight, but the doctor wants me to put on about 12 pounds more. He also says he wants me to work up to being outdoors in the sun 7 hours daily beginning with 2 hrs; and that when I can't get the sun out of doors, he will give it to me artificially. It looks as though I had my job cut out for some time to come. If it comes warm to stay, I hope to get out to Stoughton ere long. Miss Garland is home in Portsmouth this week, and so I am planning on doing

some work on my course. I have worked nearly all day on it to-day. I hope you are both well. Has your cold gone now? Don't begin work outside until it is good and warm. I am glad the road work is so well along.

All good wishes!
