“Dear Sister -
Little Jennie got your letter. She was so glad to hear from you. She now is in Herman Kiefer Hospital very sick with a serious fever. The 3 little girls are home again and seems to be in pretty good condition but little Mollie had a little poison and lost 1/2 of one thumb nail. I have house cleaned twice now this spring and we are getting some nice weather now. Little Jennie is larger than I am now.
Love, Milly.”
