Mrs. Moore has had such
a bad headache for a day
or two that she has been quite
invalided - she is better this
morning. Clara is back again

dent in his home on the outside
influence he brings in to it.

There is no home life here -
nothing but a constant run of
company. I feel [selfish?] as the
cause of the quiet at present,

consider me, but he is so kind
always. Cousin [Dollie?] wont be
able to come for some weeks
as her Aunt is sick & she
has boarders. [?] Appleton
