Florence H. has been down and she says her father is no better. They are going to send him to ? for he is a lot off? ? is the best thing to do I am sure. She telephoned to the Dr. for him to come after her father. He said he would come tomorrow. The wind blows hard but the sun shines. ? has to go to Dentist this P.M. I don't envy her trip any over these rough roads. Lots of love, Allerese |
