Stoughton November 26th 1944

Dear Doris

We are having a very pleasant Sunday and not so very cold. she has been to church all the forenoon & we have just had our Sunday dinner of chicken, mashed potatoes, squash, onions, & grapenut pudding with cream to eat on it. we got our eggs Friday & also a lovely Capon chicken. I thought being so large it must have been a fowl but they Perdigas saved us this beautiful Capon chicken, the kind that millionairs [[millionaires]] have, we cooked it slow all yesterday afternoon & it was very tender. we find that is the better way to cook meat slow.

Our boquet [[bouquet]] of chrysanthemums are very fresh also we enjoy them immensely. we had another snow flurry Friday & left the ground white. now most of it is on the ground today. children were coasting all day down the standpipe hill & yesterday forenoon.

Today was the day they collected newspapers. I dont see why they dont collect tins. we have a big basket full all flattened out ready for them. they go around in Brockton but not here for a longtime. 

I have done my weeks wash & the clothes are drying out in the sun. the way I do is to take advantage of the weather to wash. tomorrow it may be stormy.
