as we were unable to
break the ice. Ma wouldn't let
me go to McNatt as she thought
he might do something which
would injure M. Both Ma &
Mrs. L. thought Dr. Reynolds
best as he knows us both well &
wouldn't do anything not right. I
did. Gave him the dope. What I
wanted, he thought for about 5 minutes
then wrote a prescription & said if
anything will do it this will. It hasn't
worked yet but seems to make her feel
like it & she thinks most probable it
will work.

Wish you were with us.
Mickey is fine. She's a great kid.

Love
Joc & Martha

P.S. Martha hasn't read this.
Will surely see that Marion has a good time
as per your letter.
