	letter to Helen
	Dear little Helen, —I was very glad to get your letter. Yes I think Charles Cummings is a mate for Charles Batteford in size any way. I am so glad the you are having such a good time. So nice that you could go and enjoy the country next week you will have to get down to studying. —Your papa brought Mary up yesterday morning and she stayed all day with me we had a fine time. She took a long nap in the morning also one in the afternoon was just as gold. I gave her some custard when she ate her dinner and when she was eating a lunch in the afternoon of rice, she pointed out to the Ice chest & wanted custard. I asked her if that was what she wanted & she nodded her head and said yes in her way. When her papa came to take her home she said at first she did not want to go but changed her mind when he was ready to start. I must close this and get to my ironing with much love to you both. Also to Uncle Walter & Aunt Lou. Your loving Grandma I think everything is going along fine if you and Dorothy are away for a time.
