Irma is down sick & Harriot goes in town for an operation on her hand, & Addie their housekeeper is ailing, if Jack escapes he is lucky I bet you he is trembling in his shoes. Yesterday we got word from Lena so last night Arthur answered it I know your are anxious, so I am sending along her letter. its the first that we have received in her own handwriting. she does not mention operation you will see & I told Pa not to mention it & he didnot, she must have let Daisy in to the secret, as Orrin carried her to Dr Otts, & there she will stay for some time to come, unless I'm mistaken, knowing her condition wasnt she crazy to go into that tearoom biziness, as she did & get all tired out, instead of resting up for it?
