If I had recieved a letter from your folks, hers had not come, so Mrs Cameron said, & she hated to go away not knowing if everything was not just right with Sidney. Ralph starts to day. they take Henry with them. but Ralph is going over the road in an auto, with a chum to California. so it means the whole family sure. & we hear that Aunt Mollies folks are to come home with them: but Mrs Blake says she does not write to her, ever, so she does not know much about it. Ralph had an awful busy day in the bank yesterday in fact all the week, getting things ready to leave. Frank Southworth funeral was Friday, a massive one, so that Farnsworth being the chaplain, had hard work to get from the one of Franks to get Gertrudes on time. but he just made it. but no grass grew under his feet I guess. our Robins nest has got another little one, so the next holds four big baby robins. Dolly came up with a bird she had rescued from her cat, last night, & I had her put it in the nest with ours. they are terribly crowded, & I am afraid they will fall out any minute. but the old birds are feeding them, they are most ready to fly: They have been lots of care & I shall be glad when they do, but I am afraid now of the darn cats. there was one yesterday morning waiting for one under the forsythia bush every bird around was putting up their cries untill I spotted the cat under the bush, & stoned her away. well this letter is at last filled up with mostly sad accounts of happenings of the weeks events, hope you are faring all well & good & that Bettie is getting her share of good luck you will soon be with us Ma
