out of doors then all fall and enjoy the fresh air. The doctors say that is what Psyche needs. Helen is learning to write nicely. She goes to Miss McFee.

Alice talks about Jack Lost (Jack Frost) now. I called her an unmitigated nuisance one day and she calls herself that now, does not miss a syllable of it. She fell off the foot of my bed this morning and bumped her head dreadfully hard, but seems to be allright [sic] now. She [?] to sing everything the girls tell her too. When ever any one asks her about you, she always says "Poor papa" I guess she has heard me say it.

Hope I will ge a letter from you this week. The last one I got was while you was waiting for passes to go into Bolivia.

I almost hope you did not go. It is such a long distance and you might not get back safely. I hope you can eat some of the things here that you eat there.

There is nothing more to write about so will close, with much love
Marcia Brunner
