I think I wrote that Grace is with me this winter. She is not well. We do not know what can be the matter with her, but seems to be failing fast. Some one has to give her a home and it might as well be me as any one. She does enough to pay for it, but I cannot depend on her to do heavy work. She hardly ever complains, but looks so badly. Her lips have been bloodless lately.
You do not realize the condition Psyche was in when we returned from West Point. She had never had an attack like that before. The muscles of her face and left hand and foot were beyond her control, and she seemed to be going into the St Vita's dance rapidly. I took her to Dr. Righter and he pronounced it that. So did Dr. Finney later, but she seems to be almost well now. Dr. Righter is all paid up except the 5 or 6 times Psyche has been to him for medicine. I will enclose a slip of paper with itmes of the most of the $400 you sent.
I never see the Morres now. Have been too busy to go there lately and they do not come out as often as usual. He plead guilty to taking the money.
To see Mrs Gehrung and Nellie on the street together is the oddest sight I have seen for a long time.
The weather has been so intensely hot until last Friday (Oct 8) the wind changed to the North. Seba and I put the little hard coal burner up in the sitting room that evening and I have had a fire in it since. It seems so comfortable to have a fire. How miserable you must have been all this time without a fire to warm by. By the time you get this it will be quite warm
