between the two McGarvey residences.  I dont see any let up for Madeline.  her folks are only just beginning on their ailments & after they are through, her life will be pretty far advanced, they are not looking out for her comfort, its their own they are interested in & when Ned is old enough he will marry & then she will be an old woman that has no home.   its a shame her life is a sacrifice for her parents, God help her poor girl.  We had a letter from Lena come this week, she is trying to get work here & there among her friends, she may pick up a little for practice teaching she will never return to I am afraid.  I am in hopes she will strike something worth while.  this week I will start in on your things.  my sheets I finished & got them whitened & put away in the closet to use   all good wishes for you & family  Ma
