for you to have on the [car] home
the Bartletts are now ripening
fast — I feel sure the [Besj?le?]

this week to take up the duties
of life Society & c c It has
been more than hot Sacque
& petticoat came to the rescue.
I am a wonder to myself to

I am in better health since

Sunday morning
My dear dear friend
Jennie

Our church is closed to day
for cleaning and as my thoughts
are ever with you in your
sorrow and loneliness felt
to write you a line I intended
to have gone to the Cemetery
this afternoon but fear it
will be very damp it has
rained heavily the past few
days decided to wait until
the middle of the week. A
friend of mine was in yesterday
who had passed Anna's
grave last Monday said there
were palms in pots at the head
