My dear Edith:

Are you angry or just
mad? I answered your card and
then one day, long distance called and
said Whittier wanted to talk. Then she
said the party cancelled the call.
I wrote a card that evening asking
what it meant and have not
heard from you since. Hope all are well.
Joe hasn't been well. He has a terrible head
cold and chest. Went to a
specialist, but he said it was nothing serious.
Had a letter from Nettie
yesterday, the first for a month and
she told me of Aunt Mells baby's death.
It died a week ago, Sunday, with, [bowel ?],
trouble. Ella Brown Gilbert, Allie Brown, Allie
Dan's Mamma, Ellie, Nettie and Doras
went to the funeral Didn't give
any particulars, only said, well, I will
enclose the letter for you to read.
We were out last night to see some
friends and Joe was telling them
about your babies and how supple
and cute young Gay is.
Today is Edwin Wallace's wife's birthday
