Coming home I found Cornelia and her two children.  [[red underline]] Little Cornelia [[/red underline]] looks thin and sickly and nagging and crying, very different from the cheerful little girl she was when I saw her in Golden. The little boy ^[[Brooksie]] George looks astonishingly like that photograph made of me when I was a boy of six or seven. He looks unusually serious for his age, although he has a sweet smile for anybody who looks at him and he [[red underline]] gives little [[/red underline]] trouble.  
His mother looks very well. Nina's baby is the same but plump blueeyed, flaxen haired little cherub.  What a difference between the [[red underline]] pensive looks of little ^[[Brooksie]] and the lusty expression of little Celine. In looking at [[red underline]] Georgie [[/red underline]] it seems as if I saw myself when I was his age.
