Aunt Annie wrote a long letter from Portage telling of your visit. All well there. Mother was very sick in bed for a week, & is still very weak and pale. She worries more & more about the burial place for Father. My eyes have pained me so much that I have scarcely glanced at the papers & magazines since you went away. My eyelid is better but still trembles every few minutes. I have had very little rest so far, such a lot and variety of things have come along to be attended to, bills had to be …
