Harry knew nothing of Gladys affairs, not even if she was working & said he had never seen her gentleman, he had seen the sister, I thought it seemed queer. they are a close mouthed set seems to me. I liked the babies pictures, she looks happy & healthy. she doesnt mind cutting teeth. I hope she gets her eye & stomae teeth as easy. & guess she is good for it. she may cut them at once & be quick over them. we think the pictures show an inteligence beyond her years, no baby look about her. she seems grown up. Our roses are coming. the hedghog are looking fine, all in bloom, I have transplanted my seedlings, scabiosis & marygolds & zinnias the other two there is no hurry about. the dahlias are also in the ground. & Pa & I set out some tomatoes, & he is going to get more, they are scarce this year. but its time now they were started in the ground. I must write now to Lena. Ma
