but they insisted upon it
i knew walt it wouldent
doo of course but i wrote
what they wished) of course
they expected jeff to pay
a good board george
thought lou could manage
them but walter dear it
would never do
they would never be satisfied to live as we doo so its best as it is i told you i beleive george had bought a lot the price was 1200 he got it for 1100 hundred now if they only had money to build a house thats the talk i get quite tired of hearing of money matters somtime) i havent felt lately as if i cared much about it Lou told george he ought to give the house to her) poor hattie she wants to see grandma so much she said grandma mama is gone i shall never see her again) poor children they will never have their loss filled
