Charlie [[?]] her husband is not as well as a year ago and she does'nt like to leave him for long at a time but she is going to pay a flying visit to Mary & her baby in Portland Me. Hav'nt heard from
any of you for some time I wrote you all a week ago. Well I hav'nt any very good news to tell. Egbert has to have an operation for removal of the gall bladder and I'm not feeling very happy. We may come out all right however as well as we did with our small pox calamity. So I'm trying not to worry. He is trying to get some of his business in shape before he goes to the hospital but he is not at all
