Stoughton July 30th 1950

Dear Doris. I hope by now you have received word from me. I got your letters regularly & send you mine. I have just had my dinner and a good nap snored to beat the band. its a terrible hot Sunday & one don't feel like work. a thunder shower is predicted for this afternoon. I don't like them but we need rain everything is drying up, lawns are growing brown. the little Colder boy came over yesterday to mow the grass in the backyard. the front lawn was too dried up. so after he got it done, he hung around & I played checkers with him. he beat me twice he seems to know a lot. he likes to play on the Organ & is a good musichian. he said there was a screw loose on the machine, after he tightened it up, it went much better. he stayed a long time a very good natured young lad around 7 years old I should judge. he comes from a very good family. and was well brought up. they have lived upstairs in the tenement hous 10 yrs the Brides sisters are living over on the corner in Bings house. they left the Hospital and have retired to a private life. should think it would sum good to them. they want room for a garage to store their car. I wonder if Maude is still alive too bad she lingers so long. the last of her race. love Ma
