Home - Friday morningIt was good to read yesterday of all your good times. And I expect you will come back all made over. A monotonous life - even if it is full to overflowing - is wearisome & I thought it would be good for you to see some different people. & do some new things. But if you want to do new things today. I hope the wind & the sleet are not making things merry for you. It rained here all night & this morning about six. the wind began to blow. rain turned to sleet as it grew colder. & when we came downstairs a little later. the north window was so covered with ice we could not see the thermometer. So we do not know how hard it is necessary to shiver, but a fire is being built in the furnace.
It went out yesterday. & we did not need it then. & Father thought of sowing lettuce seed out of doors. The Friendly Class have a social this P.M. & it may clear so we can go! Auntie came home from Springfield yesterday noon after three days of hard & fast playing with Laura, & a very good time. Laura expects to go home early next week.
Ethel spoke to us last night says home where she had come a day earlier than she had expected. She says Allen & Vergie are planning to come home for vacation. & she is going to see if Mrs Sorrell would like to have Therese for the week. The Allens are all in a lurch at home. Parks family & all. & Mrs. A. thinks they shall live there for the present, or until they find a place they want to buy down town.
- Whew - This is the wildest [...] of the month - I might say of many months, but Father thinks the rain is over.
We have not heard from Walter since the notes I sent you. Father had not sent the scrap book, till this week. but it has gone now. And I hope you have received your suit from Mr. Luce.
I do not much expect my coat this week, though he said he would send it, but I did think you would have yours.
I have been doing sundry odds & ends of things since I came home. I am now making a new shirt for Father. a task he would never let me attempt before but is glad to have me try now. Maybe I shall begin your silk petties at next week. We shall be glad to have Aunt Sarah have you for Sunday. & I presume that is better than for you to come home, since you will pass right by her. But we shall want you - till we see you.
With hearts best love
MotherFather says it will be sure to rain or snow or something at the end of next week
