St L. Expo. with, they are both growing
old and suffering with disease - but
Em is suffering worst with a complete
breakdown with nervousness on account
of his epilepsy, - poor girl, her life
has been a hell upon earth. Also
had a delightful visit with Mrs. Fry[?]
- Clark, Debbies girlhood chaperon
- she took dinner with me at the
Leland and enjoyed it very much
as I did. Paid my respects to good
old black Sally Bird, my wash
erwoman of 25 years ago - she is
always delighted to see me-
Springfield is progressing and
improving in step with the East.
