his folks are disgusted with him so they declare she shall carry him back. poor girl she feels bad but wants something to love. I wish some good man would marry her & take her away from Addie, she is so selfish & thinks the world is made alone for her benefit.

Ralph came over yesterday after dinner to ask if we had heard from you folks & what time you got started on the homeward journey. do you know Saturday forenoon Mary French came she stayed to dinner. we had planned an easy meal of the left overs which would been sufficient for us two she extended the meat by adding potatoes & onion & she fixed up some bannas with lemon juice & cooked them I guess they were good then while she was up stairs I had made bread pudding early & an apple pie so that we were well fixed. I had a good visit from Mary. we were glad she came when she did I was not so lonesome from your leaving for her being here but have had plenty of time to miss you since. I do wish you could be nearer bu never expect it will come now in my day. I wish you had less care, it seems to come on your shoulders the whole of everything it scares me everything here is going all right. love Ma
