Dear Georgia

Sorry to hear you have been sick, the trouble with you is, you have been working
right on your nerve for a very long time, and you just have broken down, and you
wont be abble to to anything.
Your letter came Sat, PM, too late for Sal to send money, so she is having Mass 
at 7:A. M the 28th here in So Jax, it will be just as well, it doesnt seem as if
he has been gone a year, time passes away so fast, so much has happened in the last
two years, live is short and will soon be over for us all.  Weather is bad cold 
and rainy, and biz very bad.  I am quie sure I will start North April 5th, unless
ther is a buss going later on account of the fare weather April and May are beautiful
here but all busses leave bef then.  I had a nice long letter from Jeanne, she writes
me quite often.  Ollie not at all, glad she is better in health, suppose she was
homesick, and now she can pick up, does she intend to work up there, or only visit
around? Glad smith will get more money for the place, hope the plant I sent you 
want fozen, let me know and i can send another later, I gorget it might be too cold.
Glad Dorothys baby is a boy, and that she got along alright, jeanne seemed rather
sore that ollie hadnt called her up, said she did not know of her being there until
Smith told her.

I am real well and fixing my clothes, and I have tow prs of Canaries hope to get
some young ones out they dont act like it

I have a great lot of flower seeds all coming up, and I hate to leave them, as they
will be lovely, we have pansies and violets all in bloom, also grass pinks, all 
colors.  Sadie and I both have colds in our heads , I got mine taking a bath wont
take any more until July 4th, havent anything more to write, and must write to Bert
and Johnnie.  By By and take a rest
 Love to all the family including Ollie,
