Rudolf had dinner with her just before coming down and he said he could scarcely keep from crying when he saw her it was a distinct shock and he could scarcely look at her. She has gotten awfully thin and has such an un-natural look her whole eyes not only the eyeballs but the whole eyesocket seems to be protruding.

We feel dreadfully about it but there isn't anything we can do.

Rudolf said he didn't have the opportunity to find out anything.

We asked Lasalle but he either doesn't know or won't say, he seemed very reticent.

Just received your Christmas card. Many thanks glad to hear from you. Keep well and don't starve yourself.

Best wishes and lots of love Mom.
