Mrs Barry went to the movies & said they had a very interesting show birds & things she said it would be very interesting for the baby to have seen. she met Lena there & they came home togather she went in & saw her house she also thought it was as I did. it was very pleasant & told Lena so she advised her to stay & live down the things she complained of. telephone one side of her, and noisy children the other side. she told her she got the best of her nerves when she lost her husband & everything else she had. if she hadnt she would have become a raving maniac & told her she could do the same. she said she would come up & see us. so I suppose she will. she does'nt know her own mind & no object in view.

I got your two cards. this letter is written so you may get it before Sunday. hope the cat enjoys his home life fleas or no fleas. the house seems still without you now Ma
