who should be here but Aunt Bina, she had been down to Emma Wentworths for some time helping her take care of him, till he died and now she is staying on for company. Muriel is married again and lives out in Chicago and it seems their time she had done better, and is anxious for Aunt Bina to come out and stay with her this winter. but she thinks she will stay where she is this winter and then in the spring go out there. She gave the Burnses all her money and had a terrible time with him in the bargain, he was as near crazy as anything I should think, and it about finished her up. you know we remarked how bad aunt Bina looked, finally Aunt Carry heard about his actions and told Frank to come out and get them both, for he was killing Bine, so he did come out and took them and had all the money that was left, and she has been the loser, they called it all theirs, she bought the house down in Rose Glen out of her money, and when she sold it gave them all the money, and then put in a thousand more into the Brockton one, and she only had half of what was made on that.  She pitied them and they had lost their two boys and he lost his job and they didnt appreciate what she did for them such was the case people when they get old had better hang on to what money they have, or they are sorry when they are left with nothing in their old age.  Pa is as busy as the Devil in a gale of wind  its eleven oclock and he hasnt stopped to take breath yet, now Jimmie French has come to look over his place and I guess it may stop his activities.  There are two garnet crysanthemums not just alike two yellow one pink and one white one  I may take some of them in this winter for fear of their not getting throu as they are not fully established yet,  well I will let Pa tell about the rest    Ma.
