Lou, you would like the folks & everything here – especially
Mrs Johnston – at meals there is a great big table & the
little children sit up the same as any – toward the last the
baby & the little 4 year old girl are generally down crawling
around on the floor – the whole squad are model children lively
& free & children, but no bother & no whimpering or quarrelling
at all under any circumstances – they form a great part of my
comfort here – Yesterday
was such a strain that to-day I [am] going to keep still – Best
love to you all – I enclosed a card – write me about the
girls & all –
