know. she is too lazy to turn over in bed. she gets on my nerves & if she were any good her children would want her. Mary Finch wont invite her to even stay one night she says she is no good & dont pay any money to Matty for her board. 

Anna has called on me, she is taking walks every day & keeping her woman there to do her work. she means to use her money to hire, even if she has to mortgage her house. she sells a picture once in a while & that of course brings her in something. she has found out that the Bohennoes are waiting for her to die, so they can step in to her shoes & enjoy what is left, but they wont have what they are looking for, she says that wont get a thing, lucky she found them out. she will leave every thing to her brothers family. Toms children some how I never trusted Fred Bohenno. he was a cousin of Morts & they brought him up. so they have done enough for him + he is not thankful but wants more, it is lucky Anna heard this talk over the telephone when she was sick & they were expecting her to die. which gave her the courage to get well.  I have just received a letter from Cousin Wallace, got here too late for my birth day. but was glad to receive it just the same. he was one of my relatives I always liked & he is still loyal to me. I must send a reply to his letter soon.
