Walter [brings?] from home much of the time - & [illegible] so that you see I am not at liberty to come to you when the necessity is removed, and have thus [illegible] relinguished the[3]proposed trip for the present.Your great kindness, how ever, and Sister Louie as well, in welcoming me to an unlimited stay with you, in my time of need, shall be [illegible] and gladly remembered by me.I hope to see you both yet; and little Wanda too, some day. perhaps not - so very far distant.Joanna and Walter are well. Little Ethel has been very well too, but is now cutting teeth and is not feeling quite so well. She is a dear little prattler saying almost everything now, and is the pet-and comfort-of us all.
