Dear Albert and Jimmie,
I left Helen’s this morning at 5:20. Elmer took me in. Helen wanted to go to Nashville too, but we talked her out of it. Both children were sleeping and it seemed a shame to waken them.
I just changed cars here. We have a nice chair car now. I can see where I’ll have a nap this afternoon. Helen hated to have me leave very much. She has been very lonely there, but now I think she will enjoy life more. A young married couple has moved in next door. She also plans to go to church which will help too.
My train is due in Auburn at 7:10 A.M. Wednesday. I’ll stop at the East Station where I got on the train the night I left.
If I cannot make good connections I am going to pass up the Waseca trip. I am anxious to get home and do not want to be away any longer. I had to stay at Ben’s longer than I planned to, then could not leave Helen before I did.
The train has started, will write more when it stops again.
The weather has changed since coming further north. It is colder and has been raining most of the afternoon. I am glad to have my coat now. Have been going around without one at Helen’s.
Helen gave me a good permanent yesterday so my hair looks nice today. I sent Mrs. Ellsworth a night letter last night to meet me at the depot in the morning. I checked one suitcase through to Auburn.
Hope you boys are getting along O.K. You will be glad to have some help when I come, I am sure.
Love to you both, Mother.
This is for Stella too. Have not had much time to write.
