I guess Doris and Sid are getting all the cold weather they want. I am glad they have a comfortable house. A fireplace is good and cheerful.

I am sorry Edith Wayland has had such a hard time. Anyone who has worked as she has deserves a better fate, it seems.

How are both of you? I hope you are getting along without any more colds. It won't be long now before crocuses will be peeping up and birds will be gathering. I see Doris doesn't credit peoples' seeing spring flowers and birds so soon.

Marks at school are in full swing. I am glad I am not in it this time, though I still have heaps of papers to dispose of in some manner.

Be good to yourselves!

Lena.

Dear Folks:

I have finished my supper, cleaned up my part of the dishes, and started this letter to you - all before 6 o'clock. I shall have a good long evening before me, I hope.

Saturday afternoon I went out to Jimmie's. Ruth had a bad cold and Sunday Jimmie gave out at dinner time with a sick headache. I stayed over until Monday, and then left. I am still having a hard time with my arm. The doctor has treated it, and expected me in yesterday or the day before, but yesterday I had a bad headache which pounded if I moved about, so, all things considered, I stayed in bed, getting up only to wait on myself.
