My Darling,
I guess you recieved my letter yestersday. I bet you were disappointed too. I'm sorry darling please forgive me, I misss you terribly, I'll bet you don't miss me, your picture helps me a whole lot. They all like your picture very much. They think it looks just like you only you're a little thiner in the face. Grandma is so proud of my picture. The girls like it too. Frances said she must will it to her. Janie is surprised that she is an

good as she is. She thinks it is because we're here. I'm going to try to get her up walking this afternoon. Janie thinks it will be all right. See darling, she has kidney trouble. Her right kidney is enlarged very badly and there is nothing the Dr. can do about it, except operate and she is tool old for that. She took so much medicine already but it didn't help her so when she was at the hospital last, the Dr. didn't give her any medicine because she said it wouldn't help her. He also saud to give her anything to

eat that she wants. She this kidney swells up, and when it reaches her heart the poision will kill her. So that's her condition. Yesterday it was real nice here, It wasn't cold at all. They didn't have any snow yet. It was nice this morning, but uts blowing real cold now and guess it might snow. I have a job minding Roger Lee to-day so they can wash. I spend most of my time up stair with D. Roger Lee is playing on the bed while I'm writing this. Boy darling are the eats food. Jamie is going to send some biscuits

and combned back for you. Why didn't you write Wed. so I'd hear from you to-day. Maybe it take longer than a day. I guess it does, I don't know, but maybe I might be home till the end of the week. We hate to stay on Jamie so long because they don't share any money? Mom is worried about everything. Darling its 1:48 and the mail man must have this before two. So long my darling Popsie/ Keep my love, Tell Gratton and George we asked about them
