I had to quit work at Milaca and came home. I was so sick. I

stood it just as long as I could. though I would stand it any

way, but had to give it up as my heart troubled me so much. It

knocks my ?? all out. And I may be sick for a long time. Well

such is life, trials, sickness, and disappointments. I try and

think it is all for the best.

I have been sick now almost seven weeks. How long the time

seems. I went down to Cap Harts last Saturday. I had not

been there for five years. The country does not look like it

used to except in two places. Sunday I came up and stayed

last Jan. went over to Hurts and stayed over night. I did not

enjoy myself very much as I felt to bad and all the people

seemed so different to what they used to be. People as well

as times change from year to year. Adn I suppose I have

changed myself. Little would I care how the people change if I

could only have my health again but I fear that I will never get

well again.

Mother, Mr. ?? and I was to Rhoda Merry's funeral today. She

died very sudden and leaves 5 little children the youngest a

little babe born a few hours before she died. Ed was in

Dakota and did not get back until after she was dead. It

seems only a little while ago since I was to her wedding.
