I had a letter from Charles wife, Alice, she thinks Myrtie is lucky to get so good a position + such good pay, as she only gets $10. + its such a bad job taking care of that old man + doing the house work, its certainly worth a great deal more, as she has to be there evenings 'till sometimes eleven o'clock, the two children are off nights as they work days, its a hard case, we think.

Little Betty is doing her talking at last + must be very interesting about these times well she will be with us soon now + we shall all enjoy her. Ma.
