Dear Daughter,

Helen’s card received today. Dad and I enjoyed the joke about the sandwich more than she did. She --? You’ll make your own when you get another and bets you ate every crumb of it.

I’ve been off duty since about 2:30 P. M. Mrs. B is rapidly improving and Dr. B. had form letters to send out that he brought home to work on. He’s to sleep on the davenport tonight and wait up upon her what she needs so I’ll not need to go back until morning. She should be able to sit up part of tomorrow.

I called Mrs. Herrick about the coat. She was at the store but was quite sure it was Prince Albert style instead of a cut-away.

Helen is at Walkinshaws’ listening to the radio. She told me confidentially that she wanted to stay away enough so that Dad would buy one.

Henry wrote to Cook that he wouldn’t pay what he asked for the lumber yard but left the way open for Cook to ask for an offer. Lew Lenton wrote offering to sell us the Lentz house at 3,250. He’d just paid the taxes and wanted to be rid of it. Henry says they won’t refuse $3,000.

Hazel wrote to ask if we were coming for Christmas. Said the old folks were likely to be there as the people had not moved out of their house in Akron.

A farmer near by offers 80 acres in trade. Don’t know ho much b–t? he’d want.

Well, I’m somewhat weary think I’ll go to bed directly. Will have to learn all over again how to sleep all night. That davenport had sticks across the springs in rather unhandy places. I’ve only been up twice with her the past two nights.

Lovingly,
Mother.
