in general, while Aunt Ellen devotes the most of her time to her trade. she was just telling me a few moments ago that she felt so well. she felt as though she were a young girl of eighteen. I of course laughed at the idea but she is looking very well I suppose Milton has told you about our pleasant trip I enjoyed it so much, although the day we started from your house I did not feel at all well. my throat hurt me very much but after getting into the car I felt better. I still kept the bacon on until we reached Chicago and then I threw it away for I become so disgusted with it and Milton teased me so much about it that I thought I would dispense with it. tell your Mother I think there was great virtue in her bacon. tell William I thought of him several times on the road that evening
