Dear Sister Bland, just a postcard to let you know I had to take Kate Mrs. H. Berhardt to the hospital in Fresno yesterday, Sept. 27, and she had a very close call. If I waited one more day she would have been gone. I hope for her recovery. Will write all in a few days as this cottage is far from town.
