Wednesday Feb 23rd 1887 Dear Azariah, I feel that I was not decided at all in my views in regard to those rooms, and I hope that I did not impress you as liking them so well, that it will be a great disappointment to you if I declare that I do not believe in them. Aunt Mallie helped me yesterday in my decision though I had found out before that stairs and woman's back were not made to go together. Anna's back is her week spot and the more I have thought about it, the more I am afreaid to have her take those rooms. On many accounts I think it would be very pleasant for you both but in the end I do not believe it will be economy. I wish me more able to start you in a little home of your own fir I do not believe in renting or boarding, but can you not do as John Leadingham thinks of doing - buy a house on time. Furnish only a couple of rooms and take your dinners out till Anna gets use to things. Aunt Mallie who tried living on third floor in Washington says it will use Anna up to live
