Charlotte, MI P.M. 1-18, 1928

Dear Lillian,

Your letter received this forenoon. Sorry you had to wait for the nine o'clock bus Sunday night. Did you have trouble in Detroit later getting around the city? Looks good for Fordson. Be sure to take a few minutes every day to see yourself teaching there. Put a little feeling into your thinking.

I’d decided (in my mind) that I could take care of some young woman able to go up stairs when Dr Walsh of Bellevue telephoned this forenoon that he hasd a young woman with a child he wished to send. Her husband came about me to see me and the place. Said she wouldn’t come if it looked like a hospital. He expects to bring her in two or three days. I expect them tomorrow. The little boy is two and ½, a perfectly adorable little fellow. He won’t stay all the time. The father’s name is Cassell, he runs the mine in Bellevue.

This won’t make a difference about Alice and Pauline as she may go home in a week or ten days, so even three like Mrs. Kaufmann.

Dad put on storm windows around the west sitting room. All the bay windows were saved. Think it will make quite a difference in the weather.

Doris made Helen’s other pair of pajamas, Has some to make for Elizabeth Wilson. Doris and I saw the Gaffrey baby yesterday.

I planned to iron this P M. Washed out a few things. May have gas attached to the ironer for heating. A man will come to see about it in the morning.

We’ve been fixing pillow and pillow cases. Want to make some pretty ones for the davenport before the Detroit gang come. Suppose you took Mable hers Monday. You didn’t say how she liked it.

Quite a surprise about Nellie and Dean. Nice that his people liked her too well to make a fuss. She deserves a good home.

Darby expects to leave Friday evening for a ten day trip to Vermont. Dad ;finally has found a house that suits Ed and Lilly Woodard. Expects to finish the deal Saturday when the [uninteligible] comes back from his job in Lansing.

George has made a trip to Lansing today. I have him turning things with that right arm now in addition to hammering. Doris got an earful about George while at Mrs. Wilson’s the other day. They all think he is too lazy to work himself out of this but he is doing better each month. He’s got to make it. Think he expects to get married when apples blossom in May. Guess Ann is discouraged about him.

Must chase to the office with this and come back to get supper. Better see Frederick soon as possible. An offer of a contract from him would be a handle to help at Fordson.

Lovingly
Mother
