a boy & girl still live at home with their father. he was to be married right after she died but we dont hear anything about it lately.

the Poffellies family are no trouble so far their children are brought up to mind. we often see her spanking the boy, who she says is a little rogue. so far I like them far better than even I did the Ballantines they are more dependable.

Foreigners have brought the Charley Welch place & they are making it into five or six tenements  Edith Benjamins family are trying to buy a house Trollope has been brought home from the hospital & has the front room he cant be on his feet but they call him better. Winnie is about played out & Edith the sister is in a very nervous condition. young Ediths husband does lots of work. they say, he is a very good hearted man. he would have to be to get along with her. she is fearfully lazy. Richard has got the best disposition. he has just had his 32nd birth day. his mother gave him a new shirt. she cut it out & took it into the hospital to baste it while visiting her husband. Richard told Mrs Barry all about it. while they were waiting for his mother to come down to the theater after them. to take Richard home. he goes to the movies four times in the week. his father worships him & while his mother went to see their father in the hospital Pete took him down. Your paper  came you told me to put it in the lower drawer which I did.
