Dearest Trudie
I received the collars this morning, thank you, dear, for sending them. Concerning Martha’s nose bleed. The first thing to do was to go to consult a doctor and try ascertain the cause. Possibly he will, or, has found a lesion or ulcerated spot which causes the trouble. Local applications in the nose should correct it. Perhaps pack it with gauze for twenty four hours, and apply astringents. I hope by this time she is relieved.
Please beg Arthur Hellen not to excite Gordon so much by playing bhis games. It’s bad for Gordon’s nerves.
I hate to say no about the boys playing with Bill and Lloyd. I would be considered cranky to object at this date. Tell, the dear little fellows it is all right for them to play with them now—and, don’t forget to tell them how fine they have been about obeying to keep away from Bill & Lloyd.
I have had a real job on my hands, night and day, during Miss Edith’s absence, I hope the vacation does her lots of good for I don’t see how she has endured all the strain she has been subjected to—
Had dinner last night at the Shoreham with Sam Blythe. The enclosed pink article pleased me very much—please keep it
Dearest love—yours
