growing old. I have just called up Lottie Crane + she told me some news. she has got rid of Jimmie it seems he has got a lot of money. they broke their mothers will. it left her money all to one daughter. so they broke it + now they come in for a share of the fortune each one of them. Lottie says Charlotte and the boys are living with her, but I guess she dont know for how long before Charlotte will be content to do so. Jimmie has bought a new car + she tells me to tell Sidney that now is the time for him to in a bill for what he owe him. she said every thing she could to Jimmie + finally got rid of him after supporting him for over twenty four years. I guess Lottie has been anything but happy since Ellis died having to support the family. that I told her was a living trouble. it was a shame Charlotte brought it on her family she goes out to work when she can get it. little Ellis cant get work. I asked about Chass Capers she told me he lost his job over two years ago. he reads palms for 50 cents apiece. they must be pretty hard up I guess I wonder if he can get his three courses for dinner now. it will do him good to come down to brass tacks. the darned fool. Winslow may have to help them. Maude is clear Jones. well I guess this letter is pretty newsie. hope you are getting rested + Doris is going to school + eat is better
