Dear Doris

We found on getting up this morning it was one of our coldest mornings. 10 degrees above at 9 O' clock it seems a good day to sit in the sun here in the front chamber while I am writing my Sunday letter to you. she has just gone off to church. our snow has disappeared from the middle of the road and pathes. there's a plenty of it left though. At last our Turkey has gone. we don't want to see any more for a year next we are going to have a roast lamb for our Sunday dinner & what we had left of the pudding from her party it went with her women at the party. they asked for the receipe she told them it came from Canada. if you would like it I will give it to you Doris is very fond of it. we haven't seen her since Thanksgiving & trust she is having a good time there going nights & studying hard mornings to keep up her rank. 

The day Friday she had her card party they all seemed to have a wonderful time they stayed till dark they praised everything the front room carpet & chairs my plants I showed them pictures of you & Sidney. Florence said she hadn't seen Sid for a long time. she thought you looked like me. then my picture in the album, they said they guess I hadn't wanted for beaus in my younger days. I said when only 16 years old there were two old widowers crazy to marry me.
