Sr return but I am sure to call
Tom down stairs again before he gets
back or the divil would be to pay.
Well he came raising about "them
d-d tramps and bums", and as
"a soft answer turneth away weath" I
soon quieted him. Well I felt as though
I had been on a spree for a week and
lay down from 10 till 1 am then arose
and had dinner on the table at 12
Oclock sharp. This burning the candle
at both ends is killing. Well Maud
started in after dinner to finish the
pantry, While I go up stairs ransacking
the old papers to the tables so Maud
could finish cleaning and every thing
looking like bedlam when in the
midst of the work and confusion
