Bill is coming here to supper. he is going to bring us ice cream. he has been here lately & found me in bed. so now he wants to see me so is coming early. he is good where he takes.

It does seem good to see the sun. Henrys wife is Mary Lynches brothers child of iris ancestors. Dr McGraths wife was over to Addies yesterday & told them she received a card xmas from them. & they [[?]] all living together at the Ralph Blake house. Mrs. Barry said no such thing, they lived at West Stoughton & Maude was living with her sister at the old Britton homestead & the Blake house wasn't fit to live in since the pipe froze. water all over the floor of the sitting room.

Lina was saying the Britton house was as much Maudes, as it was Ediths, but. I don't think so, was it? She must have got that idea from outside, because Edith took the old house as her share of her fathers property, as I understood it. Pa said Ralph was "pretty greedy" that was a good deal for him to say because he worshipped Ralph, as you know. he got the business & all he wanted besides & they were very unfriendly forever after. does it pay? there is always in the family gets the lions share, but does it do them any good?
