am sorry another one is going up for it certainly damages property near it. I got a card from Lena but it doesent tell anything new. one would think she were a person of great wealth simply just down to Florida for her health. a check came here for her from the cooperative bank which I remailed to her. as I thought it would come handy.
 
I am sewing on those slips. they will be good work to take up my mind as they are good to fall back on when there is nothing to occupy my attention. the second bundle came yesterday so now you need not worry.

Bill came Saturday night after nine O'clock. I was in bed. he said it was awful slippery going. he brought his little package of coffee & she made it for him before he went home to warm him up. theres a chill in the air today.

Gertrude Elmes Drake started for Clearwater with her husband yesterday, for a months vacation [[strikethrough]] husband [[/strikethrough]] I think some of her mothers sisters own cottages down there. if it were possible they would like to live in California, this big house is much too large for their small family to run. Margery Draper gave up her part to Gertrude. she was very generous, but she married a very rich man & Winslow Drake works for them. he goes in every day & Gertrude Ballentine rides in with him & home with him at night. hope you are having warmer weather & no snow storms. cloudy this morning  Ma
