We drove over to see Geoff & Helen Friday night & found that he had had another heart attack. Helen was quite shaky and worried to death over him, tho' she didn't let him see it. And he lying in bed I felt was very blue. We will go over again soon. She feels very alone and without any of her folks near. She has been staying right with him day & nights not even going to the store, for the past 3 weeks. I offered to spell him if she needed to go downtown for anything and she may call on me sometime. 

Doris spent last night with Dolores and stayed with her most of the day... we found her napping when we reached home late this afternoon.

We built up a little paper fire in the furnace when we got home tonight. So far we haven't needed much fire to warm up and it is a good thing as our damper isn't installed in the furnace pipe and we are waiting for the parts to come, I hope the weather holds good until they do.

The chrysanthemums are beginning to blossom here, and the last blooming of the honeysuckle. I picked a bunch on the way home that makes the room very fragrant.
 
I am enclosing a letter I recently received from Ruth Webb to whom I wrote about Amelio’s illness. The letter that you forwarded to me was from Merritt Hughes, the prof. of English that I met on shipboard who was also one of Amelio’s pupils. He wanted me to write and let him know if I heard anything further.

Now I will get to my mending. I am going to send you some percale to make up a dress for yourself soon. Sid wants to know if you have seen anything of his little red woolen knit cap he used to wear at night. Don't turn the house over -tho-
Doris.
