sorry for him for he was a doctor who understands his business & would make a success in the medical would would & all the doctors know it here. but his habit is against him & its to bad for he is his worst enemy. he is treating that Owen's boy & he is talking very much better, they say in time he will fix him so he will talk all right he knows how.
The Bruce boy came Friady night & said the rent now in a day or two I will have the Drake rent so will have aplenty to do with till I get the other from my check. Mrs. Barry is not going to church but will go down to Mamie Kates this afternoon & take this letter along & put it into the box at the office & so hear the latest news from her about her clash with Myrtie & will hush her up if she goes it too strong. us our sympathies are more for Myrtie of the two. its as Alice says Mamies sickens her belief, affected her mind perhaps. she does not eat much ice here in Stoughton for everybody knows her & she talks too much about Mrs Barry who is a favorite with every one in town. she is jealous of her being so popular so everything she says goes against her. Mary Holmes, Forests widow, she is hateful & jealous towards, she likes. Blanehe & they know her only to well, but they honor Mrs Barry for she keeps her tongue still and lets the other fellow talk . thats the best way one is respected a great deal more wash your hands of filth everytime. Hope you are all right & the girl is better.
