Lena called on Helen Dunbar she was down to her fathers home with her husband. They start for Washington tomorrow morning so perhaps you may get a chance to see something of them, Lena told her you tried to call on them. Lena did not focus in her examination for HS teaching. she thinks that lead better might have been the cause of being turned down, so when you write dont let on that I have told you about it for she might feel sensitive. We are sorry as it seemed the only way of getting away from the trade school where she is so unhappy. I went once to Brookton one day last week and got a few things that were needed crochet needles for one thing a pair of house shoes, and on my way home I called to see Aunt Rebecca and found her about the same as usual. Hattie Gardner was coming thereto line. She has sold her house and most of her furniture to good advantage. Belcher has bought the Sam Sanels house where Helen is living. Well I think I have told you all the gossip Po is taking good care of all the stamps you have sent him the will be of use to you someday maybe
