something pleasant to live for. she carried a big boquet of her flowers down to the church & brought me some rare ones, heliatrope, three hansome verbena blossoms rare colors. & rose buds which are opening slowly, of rare colors one lovely & delicate pink a climber she said. she would have to leave her lovely flowers, they have just come in to look so pretty. the rock garden, they spent so many pleasant hours admiring & they both loved it, seems a shame to have to leave to strangers. she dont know what to do. its a pity Henry bougt his home, but he might not be the right one to have & make her life cheerful. she said she walked up to the cemetery Memorial day & stopped on her way back to Evelyn Giles so you see no one is looking out for her comfort. she tries to make the best of her life & does not complain.
