3her sick mother needs her more than I do, as I have been getting along so finely, and as she is not earning the high wages we are paying her she wants to go. I am glad of it, for I really dont need her now, and often would rather be alone. I didnt have enough to pay her all that was due, so I have given her twenty dollars. She said to send the remaining forty to her home.She and Mary have gone off for a drive this morning and I didnt get her address, but there040724is plenty of time and I'll send it to you soon. If you are not coming down here right away, can you send me about fifty dollars?Im so glad all goes well on the home ranch. Now if only you and Wanda can get well everything will be all right.I lost one of my little kitties, but all th other pets are well and happy. Stickeen seems to enjoy life these days.Dont worry about me - but you get well.Always yoursHelen04072
