could live exactly as she does not without working.  Of course, she should have been helped more.

I am so happy over the whole testimony, because it indicates that home work is very detrimental, and that it ought to be abolished, and a good many of the commissioners feel the same way about it.

I had a nice little visit for about ten minutes with Maud and Agnes Bartlett.  Agnes is extremely busy with a fair she is giving for the poor whites in Kentucky.  She is going to have this fair on Monday next.  Unfortunately, I cannot be there.  I hope that she will make quite a little money.  She told me that Nanette was going to help sell flowers.  Maud was delighted with your letters, and Maud told me what a wonderful Christmas present you had sent her, and she was wonderfully overjoyed when she received it.

I haven't seen anybody else.  I am glad to relate that Mrs. Fleitmann has just sent me one hundred dollars toward the expense of Miss Lemcke.

I shall have to stop now.

With much love,
