Calhouns. I am so sorry you had to cry, but it isn't hard to understand. I feel like it quite often myself. So you didn't eat too much! Well, maybe my teaching is going to have some effect after all. You know I've always refused to eat anymore after I get full - even when it rather irked you sometimes when it meant turning down some swell dessert you had prepared and made you feel bad I wouldn't eat it. Do you remember?? Van's family must be tip top and I'm glad they have the pleasure of three such fine children. Isn't it just too bad about Mrs. Throap? She was such a pretty, able woman to have to suffer such an affliction. We surely don't know what is ahead of us, do we? Poor little Cliffie. Be sure and caution him about not playing or getting too hot. So the folks are still trying to sell all the groceries in Fairfield, are they? Too bad they can't cut down on the work and come up on their prices so they wouldn't have to work so hard without making some money. You haven't told me whether you are to get anything for supervising Nettie's work. I don't feel like it is right for you to undertake that work and additional worry without some adequate compensation. Be sure
