in the wind. Mrs Osborn has no use for Dr Swing he used her mean when he came to her husband in his last sickness she said he was drunk. I was speaking to Miss O Brine & said I did not think he drank more she said he did & she thought was up against it. I said he had no business to be living in such an expensive tenement. I guess he lives as long as he can without paying his rent. he is running for office she says still. she tells me she called him into a case when the Dr was away & a man came in with a cut on his head she had it ready to sew it up & he said "what did you call me in for." because the Dr was away she said & I wanted to see it was done right." he said cant [can't]] you sew it up & she said yes & she did. she said she thinks his bark was worse than his bite & she believed in answering him back as good as he sent & she would just enjoy doing it. Dears lives in the tenement on the other side & I heard the noise over head where she was jumping rope so Miss O Brine told me to reduce her weight. she dont [[don't]] get up mornings till most noon. Tell the baby I got the Mickey Mouse book, it was interesting to see them again hope she wont be disappointed about her auto she is looking forward to for Xmas. that would be a boys present granma [[grandma]] should think & not for a little girl to want. hope you are having a different day down there than we are here it looked like a big snow storm here
