I washed up the dishes and Georgie wiped them How is Georgie I mean the baby and George and Gracie and yourself and Addie I suppose Addie was sick when she got the / baby for ladies do not ever get babies unless they are sick though she is well enough to write me a letter. I got your letter tonight but is'nt the baby splendid I am all baby sence I read your letter. George is writing to you Tell Addie her letter was nice. I am alright. I left the dishes last night but washed them up tonight /
