was probably working on him for over a year before we knew there was anything the matter, that disease creeps on so stealthily that that no one would suspect it at first. If he had had as much strength as he had grit he would surely have made a success of his farming operations but he calculated far beyond his strength. Tom has been laid up with a lame back since the funeral but is improving some now. Laura has a sore throat and not feeling very well. Ben & Ida and all the children have bad colds. I wish you could see their baby she is over 4 mo. old and as sweet as can be. Her name is Helen Irene. Tom's sister Ella and husband from Spencer came down Friday and stayed till yesterday. Write again and I will try to do better than I have been doing. Mrs Baker
