P.S. About the housework will you help me till I’m sick or will it require a girl? The nurse I have now does. I did it alone till she came. Our family is small (one little boy, husband, and myself) would like to know, to make arrangements, house small, and lack of sleeping rooms, is why I spoke of this.
