The children are well, only that Bessie has had a bad fall and cut her face, There is a house being put up on the lot, and in playing she fell across some of the timbers. The Doctor had to take three stitches. it was very carefully dressed, and we hope will not leave much of a mark. she goes to school though her face has to be bound up. the wound is above the eye.
