But Sorry to hear that you had a cold and was suffering with a stiff nect (sic), but hope you have got entirely over that by now and ere (sic) feeling good again. Miss Ada was here a day or two ago and told me She had written you and I suppose she told you of Robs sickness. He has been very sick since last Wednesday, was taken that morning before day with a shortness of breath and a froth or foam rising from his lungs, he could hardly spit it off fast enough. Pg. 2 The Dr. came and gave him a hyperdermic and he got better after a while, but he has been very sick ever since. He don't complain of any pain but seems to be weak and don't have anything to say only when spoken to, but I hope he will take a change for the better now. The Dr gave him a severe purging the night before last and it made him very sick, but he is over that known not had no apetite (sic). The Dr says if he can eat enough to gain some strength he will soon be alright. Dr Fry was in with Dr Howard this morning and they talked like they though he would soon begin to mend. Pg. 3 Rob is suffering with high blood pressure besides his other troubles. There seems to be a lot of sickness around just now. Dr Howard is kept busy all the time. Mr. Jim Thompson is very sick with pneumonie (sic), and they say there is no hope this time for his recovery. Dave Foster was buried at the Coggin cymetery (sic) last Wednesday. He had been in bad heath (sic) for a long time. Died at his daughters up near Fairburn. Miss Emma Drewry was very sick with cold and sore throat when I left Brook, I also heard that Frank Scott was very low with dropsy and there was some Pg. 4 doubt of his recovery. Walter Crowder had a stroke of paralysis and was perfectly helpless for some time, but I hear he is some bitter (sic). Your aunt Bell Coggin had had pneumonia but is able to sit up on the bed some now. I believe that is all of your acquaintance that I can think of now that are or have been sick. Our own people are all getting along find and I am enjoying life better that when I wrote you last. I eat plenty, sleep good, and just sit around and brood over the past. Life isn't much pleasure to me only when I am asleep, but on the whole I recon I am Pg. 5 doing as well as it is reasonable to expect. I left Beulah's last Monday morning. Spent the day at Brooks and the night at Emmets, went down to Griffin Tuesday and attended the memorial exercises and come on to Sisters in the evening. Brother Opal and Mamie's families have been here since I come and are all looking well. I left Beulahs family well as usual. She had got your letter and I think answered it before I left. We have had some rite (sic) cool weather since I wrote, had two light frost which killed out some cotton where it was up. Pg. 6 but didn't do not great damage on account of it being so dry. We had a light rain Friday and it turned a little cool, but it is warming up now, and if we coud (sic) only have another warm rain Thing would come out in a hurry. I hope the weather has moderated up thare (sic) and you are having real spring weather by now and that you may get through with your house cleaning allright and prove to your nabor (sic) across the street that if the Southerners are lazy they get thare all the same. I am glad to know the Evyline and John are so well fixed their housekeeping and that Pg. 7 both families are so well pleased with the match. Tell Evelyn to do her very best to keep on the good side of his folks, for there is nothing superior to peace and contentment in a family, and there is nothing that brings on more trouble than discord. Give them both my love and best wishes tell them I hope their lives may be long and happy. I suppose Miss Ada wrote you that Joe had bought a business in Fortvaley (sic - Fort Valley) so I recon he wont go to South Bend yet a while. Well I recon I had better stop for this time. I put it off till evening in order to see how Rob got on Pg. 8 and must stop now in order to get it of (sic) but this evenings mail. Love and best wishes to each of you. Yours devotedly, Papa P. S.
