| Transcript | July 22nd 02 My Dear Sister Although I have been long intending I have been thinking of you often enough I do not know how you manage to struggle through with everything and you must have been worn out between anxiety and want of your sleep I do hope poor Johnnie is allright [alright?] by this time and that his teeth are better I was telling Mrs Walter and she says it is from weakness did he get the little papers I sent him I thought they would amuse him I will send him some more of another kind if he cares for them I suppose you had a very busy day with Willie and his friends poor Maggie was so sorry she could not help you she was so bad with toothache I suppose you are nearly killed between hay and everything do try and be patent [patient?] with poor J [Johnnie?] you know better than anybody how fretful trying it makes people being sick and dont Grumble because J [Johnnie?] is not able to work tell him I said he he ought to be thankful to be as well as he is when it might have been so different though I hear Christy's Willie told some people he would have been better long ago if he had [been?] cared I suppose you will have heard from Christy that he was with me at the walk well I was with him a little while but indeed I was sorry I went with him at all for I thought he might have been different from the rest of them but I find they are all the same he said a great deal too often to be sincere if Johnnie had been well how he would have enjoyed it you need not say I told you about been with him until you hear if you do hear anything you might let me know I am not in his debt anyhow as I drank a bottle of lemonade so we met Frank and nothing would do but he would bring us back and have a drink excuse this foolery but I thought you might like to hear it Goodbye for the present God bless you all keep [torn] soon |
