Notes

Text: R. 9. Box 286 Waco, Tex. March 5, 1926. My dear Frances:- I have been studying about the baby ever since I came home. I believe you keep her two [sic] warm, all her strength is sweat out of her. You know you have three blanketts [sic] & the comfort on her when asleep, talk all of but one blanket & comfort. Don’t wrap her up in one when you put her in her bed, just put her in on the sheet & pad, and over her with one blankett [sic] & comfort, you know you have a warm house nowt like this old shack. I hope you will take her to Dr. L. Saturday. She ought to be sitting straight up in your arms & holding her head up good. She will soon be four months old. I just felt like I must tell you what I thought about the covers. Put yourself in her place, put two blanketts [sc] under you up around your head and two over you & […] comfort over you besides that & you know you would be pretty warm. You can keep them too warm as well as too cool. Edith is feeling bad se has such a terrible cold. She says she don’t think the dog would hurt the chickens, he is just a pup and he would just try to play with them. If he starts to barking & […] them whip him. I think if you kept him tied untill [sic] he got used to them he would not bother them. Kiss the baby for me, love to you all, ever your loving Mother.
