more what I have to pay too? Would it be too much trouble for you to get Ralph to figure it out sometime before the end of the month, as I should like to get the thing back on a straight monthly basis again? I had the Merchants' Co-op send me the check due from them, and I got Mrs. Pettengill to put it on my checking account, as I am through with them for that amount.

I am wondering how the assessing is coming along. Have you started on the spring work yet? I hope that Sullivan will be some good this year.

I have just written Berenice a letter and am planning one to Doris after this. Mrs. Pettengill just called up and said she had forwarded a letter from Virginia.

All good wishes,
Lena

Dear Folks, I suppose you are watching for spring buds and shoots to appear these beautiful days. I have scarcely been out of doors for some time. Two weeks ago to-day Mrs. Pettengill called for me and took me out to Stoneham. I had felt that the pain in my neck and head had been worse the night before, but thought it might be nothing special, so said nothing, but the trouble grew worse, so I got a bite to eat and went to bed that after-noon. Shortly I was helpless, unable to move myself, and in terrific pain when anyone else did or didn't. I impose upon Mrs. Pettengill and Miss Garland for two days, then hired a nurse. Thursday night Dr. Att came out.
