Dear Mary and Lillian,&#13;
Well, how are you - I'll bet you were worn out when yu got to Chicago Mary - we were all concerned about that bus trip and hope that it won't take too long to get the kinks out. I had hoped that the trip would be good for you this time and appreciated your going with me.&#13;
The aby was just fine when I left. Sat. nite I decided may be she would be happier with 3 ounces every 2 hrs. instead of 4 oz. every 3 hrs. and it worked like a charm&#13;
&#13;
Right after Kimberly Elizabeth Nisbett was born.</text>
