but it may not be for long no one knows. Gertrude has just been over to talk. We are fond of her she is very lovable some how I never took to Addic + guess she must feel it. The little robins are building again up in the maple tree I felt it + so stripped up some white cloth + put it out so they could see it, on the bush + in ten minutes they had it up in the nest turning it in + out. + sitting + turning to form it. twas very interesting to watch the little things work. alice had a lot of spasms so continuous that they can not do any thing with her as yet, she may have to be there a longer time than they thought. it probably may be on account of her nervous condition. it is so queer she is 80. I suppose Dr Shores may be there by now, hope she dont expect to stay there to tire you all out, she is a very selfish person as every one knows. her own people, if still living, will have to put up with her as she is, in her lonely old age. she must be well into her 70's by now, a true German type. I hope Huyo is different, he must be home sick poor boy. you will miss him when he goes home he will not come back. probably he will be too poor. another warm sunny day.

I get the fire underway for breakfast. she never has made the fire cant learn never had to + dont know how. Laurance used to do it for her always. Ma
