Wednesday morning
My dear sweet husband.
Oh how I wish you was here it is so lonesome here evenings without you.
Well dearest last night was not a very pleasant night to be out was it. I wondered if my honey was out in the nasty cold rain or if he was by some body's warn fire side, and when I went to bed the wind was a whistling around the corners and was so cold I thought of you I wondered if you was out or if you was in bed [caret mark] all alone now this morning it is much nicer the sun is trying its best to shine, and it is not so cloudy as yesterday.
Well I will begin to tell my troubles from yesterday.
You know and I know that I washed Monday left my clothes stand in the tub till yesterday well and when I hung them out, when I had them all up just hung the last sock and started to go up the stairs down come the line in that loose dirt with my white clothes on. You did not fasten it good. At the corn crib it come untied. Well after I washed them and had them all fixed again it comenced to rain. Took them down once more. hung them up again. took them down all day but under clothes. Then it rained took them down then they landed on the banister they can stay there till they are dry now for all I care. but the worst of all the white clothes gathered up all the black smoke and dirt in the country they was just a fire site. I ironed them just the same. I commenced after four I got them [caret mark] ironed put them away I will not see them now all the time.
Well dearest I guess that is enough don't you think so I hope you have better luck with your work dearest. and I hope you are feeling good and happy well dearest Willie I suppose will receive his present today. I hope they fit him. Well dearest-I guess I will close for this time. hoping to see you soon and get a letter soon from my honey. From your little loving wife
Dora
