[2]doubtless caused the days to speed by all too quickly and who knows but that this very loneliness is but a help to greater concentration; If however, you ever need us, let us know and if such a thing is possible we will come to cheer and assist at least for a time -Our Christmas was brightened by Bernices home coming, She has gained in flesh and has good color, but continues her abstemious habits as the least indulgence brings on an attack with her stomach, she cannot eat any sweets or any[3]acids. It seems a pity that she cannot eat fruit as it is so healthful. Her trouble seems to come in great measure from nervousness, and yet it may be that the trouble causes the nervousness, and yet, strange to say, to outward appearances she is the most self controlled one in the family- We were anxious to have her remain with us the rest of the winter but as she had taken up work in the school of which I told you, she felt so duty bound to finish the school term and so is again in the mountains, leaving Ethel and myself again by ourselves -
