Dr Brides sent word by Amy that Mrs Holmes was one of the loneliest ladies he had ever met & went to come up to see me if he could ever have have a chance. Amy says his place is full of patience. he is treating that little boy he [[?]] the pallet off & he talks much better, in time he will fix him all right it was not [[?]] off entirely she says. he is doing a wonderful thing for Amy. here was a strain from a fall she says she cant pay him for she is poor. but he tells her he will giv her treatments just the same & pay him when she is able. Bareta is suffering with her back terrible she says Brides is the only one who can help her & that we both know he understands his work, too bad he will have his bats he is a darn good man & his old friends stick to him a fine personality. I have not heard from Maude or Anna. Mrs Harrington says she means to try & sell that picture of Mrs Eddy for her, for she thinks Anna is in need of money. I dont see how good Mrs Harrington is always thinking of money for others & she poor soul is so hard up. the Sheistian Seiner people sent for her to come in to see them Monday & told her to wait & not let that Mr Holmes have the place it shows they have an interest in it but the poor thing needs the money they are borrowing of her sister now in order to live. Mr [[?]] terrible sorry not to have seen you he got home just after you left she said.
