last night I called Kimptis & asked him how much longer that job would take him. he said about a week and then I told him about the step & he said he would go there this morning to see to it so thats settled & hope no one need to worry any more. Mrs Barry is enough for any body who blames me she would fight them to the finish. wherever she goes she signs my praises & also yours & Sidneys she is pretty blunt & you know where to find her. Alice called us up & told us about Mamie Kate calling her up to ask her what Myrtie said to her about her (Mamie) that took Alice off her feet she had to laugh the idea. that shows she has a pretty guilty conscience her mind must be a little off we judge. her own rope will hang her sure.
I hope the little one is getting over her operation & you are having it easier. I remember your having measles in May & my taking care of you in my room through the May storm in a dark room with curtains down & freezing to death. every time I started to do work down stairs, I would not more than get to the Kitchen  before I would hear you call "Ma Ma come up" those were the times I was on my nerves. you were in the 5th grade. well I guess my nerves were unstrung through all my married life with the loss of my little ones & living with Pa who was so nervous all his life, his sickness, its a pretty good strain for any body. but thank
God it is drawing to a close. love Ma
