Pa has got all he can attend to now since the horse came the way he fills up Kitties stall is astonishing. I hardly dare go inside of him shes so big.
I took my work up to Sues Thursday the day Edith came. Alice was home and Georgie Taylor came she looks old and played out, did not seem natural, had not much to say. Alice was telling about going up the ladder with Percy onto the roof that was being shingled, in her cream colored breeches and sitting down on some tar and the paper sticking to the seat of her pants, her mother had been trying to get it out of them ever since, A said she was terribly afraid they would shrink so she couldn't wear them as they were pretty tight before. We are having great rucktions over a Paul boy down in the Nevins house  Beatrice Monk has heard about the boy and how he is abused and put Dick Vanston on the case I think it will bear investigating. I think there three sits of children & perhaps more this last woman it seems is a boozer they go away and are gone all day in their auto and leave all that tribe with dry bread the milk and other things locked up. No beds only bare springs to sleep on without bedclothes.
