seems has come Mamie told Mrs Barry she had given Myrtie her walking ticket. she run her down to the lowest ditch, & said she was lazy & incapable & nasty there was nothing bad enough for her to say about her. we rather pity Myrtie & Mrs Barry told cousin, well she certainly took good care of you when you were sick & at deaths door, well yes she did said Mamie Myrtie spoke very nice to Mrs Barry & I over the phone about her cousin & asked her forgiveness if she had said or done anything to put her out in any way while taking care of cousin. she told me she had done the best she could for Mamie while she was sick & said she came as a housekeeper & not as a nurse, but had done both & now was used up & got to have her rest. no one to take care of her if she got used up. her knees are very bad. Careta all along had said there was going to be a clash & it certainly has come. we feel sorry but are waiting to see the out come & are keeping very quiet not our hunt.
