Dear Trio
This week has yielded nothing to me but a crop of very large headaches. I hope it has been kinder to you -- that business is looking up and, like the paper, lengthening its cords and strengthening its stakes -- as they say at the Bible meetings. The pain is gone from my head at last, but I am feeling very much shattered and find it easier to cry than do anything else. With best love to you all, I am ever
Your faithful
Pollian.
