to sacrifice, as they are great spenders & like money. well dont let on what I say as they would not like me to blab.

The thermometer is freezing & the sun is just peeping out I hope it clears. I went down to Mrs Dykemans after apples before the storm & found she was very miserable she had got Mary Gitchel there in place of Mrs Baychard & so I was glad & guess they were better suited. I am afraid she will hardly get through the winter as every organ is worn out & she has hard work to breathe, poor thing she is up around but should be abed. I was a pig to take two of the babies pictures. Ralph thought they were good. I was satisfied & felt they did you all justice. even to little wrinkle nose. "just what Henry would do". Maude said. Stanley Loring came in to see us yesterday he is roaming around not able to work & looks bad. he hates living down to his fathers on Park Street so much noise he cant sleep nights. I am over my cold, Lena did not give it to me. I think I got it when I went to Morts they were both down with it & it was less than a week when I came down with mine. it was the next day after Lena came & that would be too soon altogather dont you think. I think Nellie Toomey is sick I see a stranger hanging out clothes on the line & a light in her room nights, they are very private. Ruby & her folks called on Ella Standish who is sick in Brighton, a Catholic home. they went Sunday. I hope you are free from colds & that Mrs Cutting is over her strain. Alice keeps her bad leg bandaged & says it keeps it from swelling. she is very heavy on her feet, but wont diet. the doctor told her she was too fat for her height. she is too fond of what she eats & will miss it some day Im afraid. Ma.
