Dear Maggie, SHIRO 3-9-1931
No doubt you think I am never going to write but haven't heard from Aunt Lew's girls yet. I guess they told you when I was sick that I had a stroke of paralysis. Well, that limb never did clear up and I don't get about very well. Nobody thought I would ever walk again. I am not able to do any work at all. So you see it goes pretty hard with me not to be able to do anything.
Egbert was home yesterday and is looking real well - has gained 14 lbs since January and Sam has fleshened up too.
I guess Fay, children pretty well take up your time and lots of company and pleasure to you.

I wish you would send me your Papa's then I will have them all.
Would be so glad for you to come to see me sometime. Will the girls be home this summer? Write me soon.
Lovingly,
Aunt Mattie
