User-Contributed Transcription that they would both come and give us a full night's sleep, thinking that we would then be able to get along without help in the future. They have been of great help to us than we can express. Sunday night they attended to him faithfully and efficiently that we believe they saved his life. He would not take his medicine, and they forced him to receive it. Without it the doctors both said he could not have survived till morning. They were with us two nights and Mrs. Singleton two or parts of two. We were very grateful to them. There are many others that we could have depended on, but it seems that most of the families have children. But we hope it was nothing contagious.The school will be closed for the week. There is so much sickness all around. - much sore throat and grip and pneumonia. - though just here there has not been so much pneumonia.We are pretty well, the rest of us. Though Ella is pretty well worn out and I may say about sick.Mrs. Crewdson has just returned with a basket of apples and oranges and bananas and nuts and candy together with a can of jam from Mrs. Ewell for Roberts. Mrs. Eikes a daughter about Howard's age, and, and has not been here at all, but has sent words that she would like to have been.We hope you are well. - Cousin Mary Lewis is tracing up the lost package. It has been found that it was in a car that was held up in a train robbery. We remember of Ella's saying when we read of the robbery, "Well, we were not expecting anything were we? So we have not lost anything." With Love, J.E. Everett
