3/ I do feel so sorry for her as she does love that dog. I know how she feels as I loved Fly the same way. The Thompson's can't afford to go to the Rest Home, so she will have to keep them. Old Mr. Uriah Craft, the old man I talked to at the Home where we stopped on our way to the Dog clinic, passed away Tuesday, so there would be room for them. But Cora said that Mrs Thompson was fighting mad at her for going there to inquire - The Leids - Pa. Dutch couple who were here in garage apt last Feb'y, sent me a picture of their new baby with her 5 yr old sister who was in the snapshot with me that I sent you while they were here. They praised the oranges, as everybody does. 9:10 am. Saturday. Ladder didn't come - Cora just now called up to ask. Said she had a boy in mind that she thought she can get if it comes today, and pick. She said she and Clarence are coming over today to clean out my stove pipe. I said No. that Lena will be here Monday and she will do it. Cold, grey and 50 degrees at 8:00 I see you are having it a little colder. Have heater going in the kitchen. Much love, Mother
