George McGarvey is worried about Jack as he has been gone three days now, & Pete says its a wonder he doesn't get run over down town, for he will stop to scratch in the middle of the road, where there is so much traffic. I cant keep Pa in the house today, & its so windy, I am afraid he will add to his cold. Esma was on her dignity at the funeral, she didnt like it when Addie said to us to come there to dinner. They did not give her a napkin to the table by mistake, & she at last called on for one, & Frank Healy said y I gave her one, & that made her mad. She said coming home "they are so darned cock sure of themselves." Her eyes blazed. She is pretty spunky, but seems to take to some, Pa caters to her, but in the long run, he would have his hands full, or any one else, as there is no affection to any of them. I am going to send three more dresses the first of the week, hope you like them. She must look cute in them. I am about ready to start my dinner. Meat pie & mashed potatoes, bread pudding for dessert. Ma. We have changed onto Frank Monk for milk man.  No pasteurized milk for us, as we dont like it. Ma
