Transcription
all summer and gained 30 pounds while away. Mr. and Mrs. Pettis had another baby born to them last night, a boy. I had given up going to South Amer. long ago, know you would not want [?]. I wrote to you not long ago and asked if we could go to Chicago and meet you. I think I will not do so but want to go to some of the lakes later when the weather is so hot. I do not want to spend another summer here right-away and think it would be pleasant to take the children to some cooler place. I think I can buy the coal myself. They know, at the coal office the kind you buy and I will get the same kind. Do not worry about it, I can see to it. Mr. Dales has already done so much for me I do not want to ask him to do so much.

Alice Taylor came back today. Their mother may live a long time yet or she may die suddenly and she could not afford to lose her school. They left her mother in good hands.
