we receivd [[received]] a letter from Mame. this week she tells Alen is failing  every day he has an advanced case of Bright [[Bright's]] disease. his  near sight is nearly gone, and far sight going  tells us his feet are bloated [[also??]] his face.  a rather discouraging letter on the whole it would seem to me. it was only for a few month [[months]] for him  he will not be able to come home by any means  they have not sold the House yet  your mother is getting dinner and I will finish this after coming from the funeral. I have got home from the funeral  The Church was filled to the doors. over 500 people crowded in  Mr Cox  Mr Martin and Drowns. The [[Episcopal?]] all [[took??]] a part, the Home Guard doing escort duty  The flowers were simply immense in design  all Large Pieces  it began to half snow at noon time and now the Ground is whiter and bad walking  it is most time for me to take the letter down to mail
