Ed says in his letter that Paul has the consumption but he is mistaken he is just withering away. After uncle Ike left here and Ed let Elvira and Lizzie go over and see their cousins and when supper was ready Elvira says thank you cousin I will have to take a little supper home. But when she got home she Told Ed and Lizzie how she had to beg and beg to gets some supper. And to eat with her. About 2 or 3 days after Ed went over to see illegible As I cannot think of any think to write I will close with love to all. Robert
