2 On Saturday she seemed better - and they were quite hopeful - But at 11 o'clock in Saturday night she was taken very much
worse - and she could not speak to them again tho. she tried painfully hard to do so. Maud's letter tells the rest - She was
laid to rest beside John Watson the family in the Arlington Cemetery On Tuesday the 23rd On a beautiful Spring Day - +++ She
left no Will. But Hamilton Jim seem likely to settle everything about the property disposal of things in a peacible and satisfactory
manner. The house which she occupied is to be rented - James had rented the farm he will live there board with the family
who lives in the house helps him to work it. H. has let his farm and hardly knows what he will do - Go back to Madison probably
- His family lives in the House on his farm - are very comfortable indeed - She the children seem well happy. The baby is
now nearly seven months old a great pet inthe family - I, two of the little boys went across the field to the woods and gathered
lots of the beautiful Anemone - I enclose two? hoping that they may keep their color untill they reach you. - (3.) Dr.
West little family are still with me - In some way the house which they thought they were sure of - Slipped from them before
they knew it was rented by some one else - who had looked at before they did or something of that sort - They have not found
anything else which suited them - and now that Baby is well thriving the family is much smaller - She had two women here until
she was about seven weeks old - A girl in the Kitchen a woman to help her the Baby. Poor little thing she had a hard time,
the first five weeks - as they could find no food which would agree with her - she nearly starved - She hardly weighs eleven
pounds now will be ten weeks old tomorrow. But she is well - so sweet good. They have put in a little garden and will stay
with me for the present. I have my board for the rooms they have - And while I pay them nothing They have no rent to pay -
And that is worth something to them while they are getting started here - For Osteopathy is not as well known here now as
it will be in a few years - or perhaps months. He has a number of patients but not as many as he wants - By a good deal -
He very kindly gives me two or three treat- 06198
