& her croud treat me nicely Phoeby Hill came here Monday morning for a call on her way home from downtown she brought me some cream cheese she is a very lovely & ladylike woman & wants me to come to see if the old place where I used to visit as a child the Pennamin house she speaks of Wallaces daughter as a very cultivated young lady. she has a daughter who is just graduated & has received high honor in French & her husband in Principle in high school some where out side of Boston, I guess. well so I am glad to remain at home & take it quiet & do a little sewing & think things over. it is cool & very comfortable only terrible dry. strawberries I saw marked beside the way .19 a basked too high for the season, but the dry weather has put such things on the blink. everything in the eating line has gone up accordingly. Nelly Standish is very bad but Careta says she is a little better. she has a bad heart & kidneys. she lays in bed & cannot speak but is consious black aroun her mouth. she will go in some such spell some time it is lucky Ned's wifes Mother Mrs Parker is there with her. before this she has been all alone & unconscious so many times. Mrs Parker is very good to Nellie, the granddaughter was married last week & they had a wedding feast they were not going to invite her to. but Mrs Parker made them let her be there we think this spell was brought on by this neglect. people are talking & well they should. Ned her son is horrid Ma she owns the house & pays all the expenses & still they treat her like a dog. too bad.
