I have been trying to do a little sewing, but seems I cannot get anything accomplished.
Feel, sometmes, I would like to jet so far away from city where I, [?], hear telephone or doorbell, or see a street car. Went to send this in town and a neighbor, so must hurry. If I feel alright, I will come Friday, but it is very doubtful. Want to make one express charge do, so want to find out about the piano and have the thing all brought up at once.
Trust all are well -
Let me hear from you. Lovingly, Maude
