scaring Mrs Barry half to death. (I had gone to bed). and didn't hear it. we found him alive this morning and had to kill him poor rat. he was in there suffering all night. today is cloudy and it feels like snow. I hope you are having it warm am afraid not. Mrs Barry is signing Easter cards to send off. she is enough for Myrtie & gives her back as good as she sends. Mamie Kate suffers terribly poor thing Myrtie is getting down on people she is too bossing. Alice is worrying so it makes her signo trouble bad again & Percy is discouraged he can't find work. Careta wishes she had money to help them. I wouldn't wonder if she did, she is so very charitable. your check came so I am sending it along in this letter. my jonquils are blossomed out. they need to be dug around. I am not able. Henry says that the Bank business will be decided Monday night. he wants it, they say he is the best one fitted for it so it is not yet decided. Pete McGarvey they say knows nothing about banking business & he wont get it but Henry may, his father being so popular in town. This weather is going to continue I guess the whole month & then have another dry summer. N England dries up summers. rivers in other places throughout the country. I am sick of such weather. hope you have pleasant weather during your trip and come home without an accident Ma
