My dear Fannie,
You are still gaining. Ona is down in bed. Her side is quite bad again. Her heart and nerves are real bad again. Our Hoffman still remains very low. I would love to see you, but can't tell now how soon I will get to town.
With loads of love to you my dear, I am as ever your true sister,
Harry
1911
Ours Fannie Parsons,
