thats the way with people, when they get old if they dont have children no one wants them around. Kate was well taken care of by her children but they dont want Helen. Arthur Clapp came from Idaho, and got here, the day she died, so he could be at the funeral, He looks just like his father, only a little stoughter. 
Alice Talbot has a telephon[[?]] and has called me up about every day this week and keeps me posted, Susie and I talk on their phone too, by the way Percy is having a serious time with his head. He goes in town to be treated, for a trouble caused by a cold his head stopps up and the docter inserts a wire which is very painful to bear, it seems as though he would go crazy, his face is firey red, and also his nose, and the latter is swoolen to twice its usual size, poor fellow he says if he has got to be like this, he dont care to live. So you see there is trouble everywhere. Its too bad about Helen Trotter, but she must have expected it. I hope you can read this for I am writing it lieing on the couch my back is tired from washing but I was anxious to get the last of them [[?]] so they would dry. Well here is Pa home from the Cemetry and I m[[?]]t stop my writing and give him the pen [[?]]a.
