I am afraid he will never live to grow up. certainly a little comfort to Maude & was to Ralph as long as he lived. he adored him. she has a young man 17 years old there cleaning up her place. some one who has worked for Henry I guess he stays there some nights & they get him cheap. she looks bad & dont know what to do. left in that big house & no money to run it with. I think she ought to have sold it when she had the chance. it seems she got one of my old pictures of Soper & sent it to Myra Kins daughter. the idea. she said she was much pleased with it.
