Kim has [?] her girl &consequently I have more to do. I often have a fewmoments [to - scratched out] of leisure time, but I generally feel so tired that I cannot write. Our family is well, Alice, whois still at home, is much better than she was in the Spring. Her cough does not trouble her any more. I hopewill not soon again if she is careful not to exposeherself. Frank grows finely & is getting quite saucy/savvy?
