you surely do seem like folks to me too, just as you said about me. You have always made me so much at home with you. I have often felt that I ought to come out and live with you now; but I don't believe that I would make you nearly as happy as Mrs. Osborne does. I get terribly uneasy at times and then I want to do something else.  Mrs. Osborne is calm and genial and agreeable, as I know I shouldn't be. Then, too, she needs the work and I can do something else. I am anxious to be on my way somewhere else now.  Mrs. Smith and the others here are fine.  They are friendly, and we all make a good family, but they are terribly noisy.  Leonard doesn't go to work until twelve o'clock at night, so the house is noisy until that time, and again at 6:30 or a little later in the morning things start again.
    By the way, has the state census taker been around out there yet?  I did not give my name in here. I told him my permanent address was in Stoughton. Will you give my name in out there when he comes around if he has not already been there?  Possibly you did anyway.
