Dear Mother: have kept thinking I would answer your letter, but find so much to do. I have failed to do it. I think I won’t take but one more case and when i get it will write again and let you know about when to expect me. Hope you are getting on OK with the house. Love to all. Iva

Your card received last night. My patient died Monday p.m. but I stayed till last night, as they paid me for the full week. I didn’t want to leave them, it was such a lovely home; but my work was done and duty said go so I had to go. If Elam (Iva’s half-brother through mother) can, have him stop here on his way back from Lawrence. He can phone here to the house and find out where I am, if I am out on a case (cit. phone 38310).

Came here on a case today and will probably stay as long as she lives, which may be long or short. It is a beautiful home and lovely people. How are you and your men getting along. Hope something is doing by this time. By the way, see what you can get a phone put in for and I will try and send money to pay for it, if it isn’t too much. Have a Bell or Bell connection so it can be used for long distance. Iva

Cards, letters, booklet, etc. received this morning. Thanks to all, should have sent this card before but was so busy in getting through I forgot I had it. Seems to me your men are rather slow in getting around. It will take them till the first of July to get through at this rate, so I think it is a good thing I’m not coming any sooner. Love to all. Iva, 18 Henrietta Street

Your letter just received. Sorry you are nursing again. The Phenolax are for the bowels and the Asperin (white tab) are for the Rheumatism. Wish I could be there and help you settle and maybe I can come for a little while if I can afford to loose the time away from work. Hope you will be able to make some sugar this year. Don’t think Aunt V. [Valeria Louise Nelson, age 74] expects to come from what she wrote me. I.M.C.
