    I have been thinking of you a lot and wondering how you were, if you were still having those gas pains. Did you tell the doctor about them and get a treatment? If I were in your place, I would go back to taking a pinch of soda in some warm water after every meal. You probably need it now that you are not so active as you have always been in the past. I shall look forward to getting another letter from you, telling me how you are.
    I have not heard from Elizabeth for a long time.  I don't understand her silence, she is usually so good about writing, and I have written twice asking her to find out about a place up there for me.  I hope she isn't sick.  Probably she is just busy.  I got a postal from Bernice the other day.  I must write her one.  Be good to yourselves.  Much love, Lena

don't realize I am sick until I am good an sick.  I think that if I could recognize the symptoms and let up for a few days I might escape the worst parts, but I always think I am just lazy, and so keep trying to work as long as I can.  Mrs. Smith is pretty good at vetoing some of the things I want to do.
To-day I spoke of going out and shoveling a path down towards the roads so I could carry out some ripe olives I have to the pheasants.  She said no, and I didn't. I went for a walk instead.
    I wish I were near enough you to come in every day to see you.
