Evelyn Drake has just been here with my money the check has gained ten dollars interest, which she gave me. now there is a girl who has given her whole life to the comfort + care of her mother, not many like her + I told her so. she said that is seemed a pleasure to do for others. I told her the Lord would reward her for so doing + she would never be sorry in afterlife to know that she had done some good + made her mothers life happy. (the flower of the family.) its growing cold the heat will come on soon. I am sorry the grip prevails + hope Sidney is careful it pays to be, when one is feverish. I dont fear it there are not many cases here + we use our vapor rub + keep away from it as much as possible. don't worry + dont over do your self. things will come out all right in the end. we have to go through about so much + then die when our time comes + not before. if one can take any comfort in this life, we ought not to envy them, the way every thing goes. it seems a life of continued worry. hope you get rested + can get out of this atmosphere soon. 6 o clock + still she is not here but she said not to worry. they stayed off + she had to wait their time always. but I dont mind, I am safe at home.
