Dear Eliz,
I was just thinking about you. Wondering what you are
doing these nice days. How dose Gene like school? By this
time Jane goes to school. How is my little Jack getting along?
I see the strike is settled. Has Bones gone to work yet? Have
you hears from Mrs Haley? Louise says they might move to Sayre.
Helen is home sick. She does not sit up yet. They thought
she would have to have a Operation but she is some better
to day. The Dr said she could sit up in bet to day. P H is
just about the same.
It is lonesome over here. Nothing to do, only lay down
and rest. I think I will be home some day next week. I might
stop to see F E Hotelling on my way home. How is Mrs. Daly?
I have a lame foot. Ella was over as far as Williamsport with
me this time last year. Kate was so sick. I hears Art Sned
was working in Sayre. Well that is all the news over here.
Kiss Gene and little Jack for me. Tell him Icalled him Jack.
Did Genere get rough since he wen to school? Mary E did.

"Bones" is Elizabeth's husband, Eugene
DALY and Gene and Jack are their two sons. "Jack",
however, is really named "John" and hated it when his
grandmother called him the wrong name. John/Jack would have been
about 3 years old and Gene about 6.
Kate, Louise, and Helen (Lena) were other daughters and Art Sned
was Kate's husband Arthur Snedecker. "P H" was her son
Patrick, whom she was visiting.
Mrs. F. E. Hotelling is said to have been Jerry Shay's mistress,
and Jane Shay's friend. The relationship was not a scandal since
everyone knew about it.
The "strike" was the Great Railroad Strike that followed
World War I. During the war the unions agreed they would not strike.
