these times. I got a soup bone Friday & made a nice stew, but we shall get terrible sick of it long before it is gone. Lottie Stickney was here yesterday she told me that Annie Lee was companion to an old lady in Rochester N York, where she used to live and got twenty dollars a week & treated as one of them. Do you hear from Gertrude Green since she was here? has she done anything about your dress? I take it that the little one is amusing herself these days, poor little thing, well perhaps its better for her, one can get more work done in that way, if they have the faculty to turn them off. Harold Capen is in poor shape, he is not able to work any & in a fair way to lose his house. behind on taxes & cant keep up his payments at the cooperative bank the family disease has hit him pretty hard should think. poor booby is to be pitied. I should think she would go out & do work she looks healthy. I have not heard from Myrtie not since Mildred had her last kid presume her time is well taken up with young ones I pity the kids though, she is not fond of children. They must miss Roys family, We dont find out whether he has bettered himself by the deal. Helen Metcalf, Polly Porter & Heber Capens wife went down to Washington this fall, I dont suppose they came near you though, well I must do my dishes & get dinner 
Ma.
