has been at our house since we came away - He was en route for Pa. - his old home - Hes young "sprigtly" and good looking - I'm sorry I was'nt there to help entertain him - It has only been two months since I had that pleasure - and then he's coming back in a few weeks - so I'll not despair. He is engaged in merchandizing in the Southern part of our State. Leonas is there too - not still Leonas Needham - but Leo Needham Still - How funny! Your girls have all left me to dance in a "hog-trough" - What am I going to do? - I'll be old maid - "Aunty" to a generation of young ahems! Strange things are transpiring daily - We do not know what may turn up next - Somebody might accidenally ax me to have 'em - Then what? Well, I hardly know - honest I do not. Would you advise me to set sail on the turbulant sea of matrimony
