My Dear Fanny:-
I was so pleased to have the card–and to find you had not forgotten. I am sort of a “shut in” so I appreciate hearing from friends. My left knee has been troubling me for a month caused by a fall–so I did not get out to do any shopping. Mrs. Packwood helped me out and she and Dr. Earl were here for dinner as his wife and baby were in Canada. As his worker mula? was very ill. Earl is such a fine man–and his baby is so smart and how we all love him I hope to see your children sometime. I know they are nice. And Delia told me that Mr. Ames was too good to you all - so I know he is all right. My family [?] ready [?] but I am very fond of my two sons and their wives and my four grandchildren to say nothing of my brothers son George Emmon Downer–how is a handsome boy of four
I saw Dr. Meedenbauer a few days ago. He is stout and looks happy. Dr. Pohloman died a few days ago. quite suddenly Dr. Delaney Rochester too has gone to pass]--forth physically + financially. How has had two shocks of paralysis and his oldest son 16 yrs has Epilepsy. I have heard that very bad blood was on the Delaney side. I am so sorry for them He was not like his father–not as suar–write whenever you can and come and see me–
Much love-Louise
