she says Maudes helping out down to little Henrys office as the one who was there, is going to have a baby at home at any rate Maude can keep warm there if she dont have anything else. but between Birtha Upham & Mis William she will be provided for. theres no body who speaks a good word for Henry. if he does'nt have the insurance office taken away from him, he will be laebey. Bareta was cheated by him, but made him confess taking the money. he said he was hard up, so now she gives him money every so often. those boys were over to her house when they were growing up as they were at their own home & Bareta has a good heart, she is loyal to Maude too she takes to Mis Barry & tells her things, so she tells me everything & they go no father & Bureta knows it. so mums the word about Henry.

Now about Dr Buring, Faxon had Da Smith a specialist drop in to see Buring & he refused to be examined & said "hell I suppose you folk are having me dead & buried", but finally he consented to the examination & he told him to be careful and rest up but he said "no", so the wife is awful worried but we dont think he cares to live. nothing to look forward to as the world is going its about so I am glad to think my family passed on I would not wish them back to struggle on these times so many out of worke no wonder theres so much erime some excuse.
