Letter written to Ralph Marsh family Aug. 1, 1922. It was written in pencil and is quite faded and difficult to read. It was enhanced by photocopying. The mother's heart is whole yet and loves you all. Now it is Tues. AM Aug. 1st, 1922 and this beginning in May 8th ever since I fell and broke my left hip also some injury to other leg that were not strong since my other fall over three years ago - That was when Etta first came so bad that I have lain on my Hospital cot in our own front room. was not able to lift even my head from the pillow for several weeks- Ruthy have me propped up now so I am write a little- I seem to be getting better slowly but expect it will be a couple of weeks yet ere I can bear weight on my feet- Etta & Papa does the work and is having lots of washing- Etta will not consent to send it away- She needs all the money she can get out of the job and it is very _____ now so we get along good - They have the corn up and a few early plums- We have had lots of callers and many beautiful flowers brought- Well Ralph I expect it does seem hard to think of us being way off here and down flat of our back. Pa keeps up quite good - sleeps what time he can get- There has not been much night work for quite a while- Ruth is having a short vacation now and is here part of the time. Rachell went back to Deep River, Iowa to help Arthur manage a large Tel. Plant which he has leased for a term of years. - it is East of Des Moines. Well I have thought of you all a great deal and wondered if it would be so we could see you all this fall. Doll & Garo was up. She had just got home from the east - her mother did not come back this time thinks may come later and spend the winter - I am tired now and they will lie me down now so I can rest - wish I could hear from Hazel. I will drop a line to Frankie - Laura hope Dottie or the boys will write. --- Laura A. Hartpence was born September 3, 1845 at Indianapolis, Indiana.
