There is not much to write about as I dont go any where these days. Pa has just come up where I am writing & begun his mournful whine. so I cant think of any thing straight he grows worse & more of it & I dont know where it will end he is never without his worsing as long as he is awake. Nurses are all unstrung over every thing that stirs. he cant bear to see me working & begs me to stop for Gods sake. if you come up there would be no comfort at all for you on him, so I would not think of undertaking the journey unless it is necessary. he says himself he hopes you wont come & he doesnt want any one to come for that matter. but his own folks he takes advantage & throws his whole troubles on to then as you know.

Ma
