i
got
both of your letters one
the last of last week
and the other on monday
i got one from Heyde
yesterday tuesday) saying
hannah was improving
but had a bad thumb
but no fever i think its
pretty hard to tell how
she is by his letters but
i think she must be
quite smart he said
she had the girl that
they had when i was
there
she was very good
and thought very much
of han and will doo
very well for her
i make no doubt)
well walter dear
we are getting along
quite smart matty
is improving but far
from well the doctor
is doctoring her throat
with great sucsess
i think he has performed
two moderate opperations
on her throat) but O dear
if you could hear her
talk it would make
me hoarse to talk a
steady stream as she
does when any one
comes in to see her
i dread to see any
one come in i talk
and talk to her but
it does no manner
of good she gets
almost offended at
me Perbasco was
here the other evening
and staid quite late
and the way mats
toung went it certainly
would have made
me have had the
headach to have
talked such a length
of time steady
but so
it is she went out the
other day i said dont
go to any place but
i knew in reason she
would so she went
to saywards and
stayed till dark
it was real chilly
when she com i said
martha if ever any
one tryed to not get
well i think you doo
so that night she
raised some blood
not much but it frightened
her staid and talked
till it got so late and
then walked fast home
that was the cause of it
when we doo every thing
to have her comfortable
it makes me real out
of patience) Edd
has
been quite sick with
billious attack
but is
so he does a little now
but looks very bad) off
george
has got a draw
of the two houses they talk
of building he got the
furniture insured
to day for 400 dollars
i am pretty smart at present i try to get along as easy as i can matty is very weak she cant do much neve mind Walter it will be spring after a while
