note to the coroner requesting no
autopsy and stating his suicide &
the reasons for it. The funeral was
Thursday afternoon. Poor Aunt Sue
seems crushed indeed but Mamie
keeps as cheery and bright as can be.
I went also to see Mr. & Mrs. Hazelton
who have been so kind to us this
summer in giving us practical
advice and comfort. The rest of the
friends I was too tired to call upon.
I shall write to them but I know
they do not understand how utterly
impossible it has been to be social
in the swift purgatory of the
summer months - had there been
time besides the house-work, sewing
and business affairs to visit it
would not have been so unpleasant
