Mrs Packard is sick she is a great deal better than she was I thought she was a going to run down. It was pretty hard for her when Clara died but I guess she will get better if she is careful of her self. Clara wasant abed sick but 5 days Nellie said when Clara died that they had to take Mrs Packard out of the room she took on so. Nellies man is sick he is up round but he dosent work she lives with him now and keeps Nellie Greeno is staying with her now
