In the sick room

  Tuesday Morning

My Gracious Cousins

  Your letters was very welcome. for I was anxious to hear from you.  I thought to write you again last week.  knowing how in your isolation letters must be welcome friends.  but it is becoming more & more easy for me the older I grow to put off pleasure for duty and for three weeks the time has been very full in doing for the sick one who fails rapidly  Three weeks ago yesterday was the first she gave up to go to bed, before that she would be partly dressed and sit up a part of each day but since then we lift her out of bed into a pillowed chair while we make her bed. Yesterday she was not able to even have that done, but she is a little stronger today.  Two weeks ago yesterday she had a very bad day and we unclear her Adah who is here to help but having a cold herself  we don't like to have her much over Mary
