Baby!\u201d and was for coming right in to possess it but was restrained until baby was dressed and the room in order when all were allowed in to see the new-comer.\u00a0 Bobby wanted to \u201cnuss\u201d it at once and put out his little arms quite confidingly.\u00a0 Then Ira said with pride that this baby had arrived on his nineteenth birthday and I suggested he name it.\u00a0 But Alfred, the mother\u2019s helper (as he never was quite strong enough to do out-side work so has learned to cook, wash dishes and even do the washing) named it Fred in memory of a neighbor\u2019s boy of his age who has just gone to Berea, helped by his sister who was sent there several years ago by the nurse in charge at the Cabin, and now, as a trained nurse, is doing much to help the family.<\/p>\n<p>It was snowing hard in the evening when I might have returned to the Cabin.\u00a0 But I hardly wanted to ride that mule and wishing to see how the patient spent the night I lay down on one of the beds which was comfortable as to feathers and springs but the smell of those quilts will haunt me for some time to come.\u00a0 It was so cold, it was necessary to rise twice during the night to replenish the fire with coal and to wait on Nancy.\u00a0 Then at five, Frank came in and made up the fire again.\u00a0 Alfred prepared a very creditable breakfast, the eggs being fried quite daintily.\u00a0 \u201cSoft\u201d says Alfred.\u00a0 \u201cYes please\u201d said I.\u00a0 Alfred added, \u201cI like them that way too\u201d.\u00a0 It was great riding thru the soft snow on the way home.\u00a0 The laurel umbrellas had opened out each holding a cap of snow.\u00a0 The hemlocks and pines were visions of beauty.<\/p>\n<p>The snow did not last but a day so my later visits were made in the usual way on Swallow.\u00a0 Nancy was glad this time to keep to her bed for ten days and let Alfred take care of the house.\u00a0 Little eleven year old Frances washed the \u201chippins\u201d and even ironed them heating the iron (usually pronounced \u201carn\u201d) on the grate fire using a stove lid to hold the iron.\u00a0 Nancy said she was going to keep Francie home from school as she wasn\u2019t very well and the weather was bad.\u00a0 Francie was obedient and helpful for three days, then she told her mother, \u201cIf you don\u2019t let me go to school to-morrow, I don\u2019t aim to do nothing\u201d.\u00a0 Nancy said to me \u201cI let her go as school only lasts another week or two.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A mile farther up the Branch lives Elizabeth who has her third, a little girl named Pauline.\u00a0 She was alone at her party with Estil four years and sister two.\u00a0 Lum, her husband, had been gone for \u201cDoc Metcalf\u201d only five minutes when the great moment came.\u00a0 She urged Estil to go and feed his calf while she kept Astor on the bed beside her.\u00a0 Until Doc arrived, it was barely a half hour and the baby greeted him with its welcome cries.\u00a0 Lum\u2019s sister came to help her for a week.\u00a0 She looked so trim and neat, being quite a contrast to pale little \u201cLiz\u201d in Lum\u2019s old jumper.\u00a0 I longed to give her a sweater.\u00a0 But even had there been one, I would have resisted the impulse as Lum could have gotten her one if he had thought of it.\u00a0 He seems so intelligent and yet he is so absolutely dumb as to providing any comforts for his family.\u00a0 I had ventured to hope that Flossie would stay a month as Liz has a sore on her shin that just won\u2019t heal up.\u00a0 But ten days was all that Flossie could stand, to be away from home which is scarcely a mile away over a high ridge.<\/p>\n<p>Another mile up the Branch at the very head of the \u201choller\u201d live Ranie, Alec and their brood of seven girls and two boys.\u00a0 The least one was scarcely a week old when I called but Ranie was sitting by the fire with the baby on her lap.\u00a0 Little Liza calls it \u201cNanny\u201d her pet name for her doll.\u00a0 As she is so tiny herself her father had given her this nickname.\u00a0 \u201cIt\u2019s a sight how she loves him\u201d said Ranie.\u00a0 \u201cShe runs to meet him every time he comes from work\u201d.\u00a0 Her mother Hannah was waiting on her and cooking for the children.\u00a0 She was finding it difficult to cook enough to satisfy their healthy appetites.\u00a0 Rosie and Boyd were busily chopping up limbs for the fire place while Maggie, Addie and Leemore were piling them up on the porch for it looked as tho\u2019 it was fixing to rain.<\/p>\n<p>As I sat chatting, Little Evelyn was combing her grandmother\u2019s top hair.\u00a0 The rest braided securely and a rag braided in or said Hannah, \u201cShe would be combing it all\u201d.\u00a0 Rainie\u2019s hair is a lovely red brown that matches her ruddy face.\u00a0 She wears it in two plaits hanging over her shoulders.\u00a0 The older children were all in overalls terribly grubby and ragged but Rosie brought in the new print dresses.\u00a0 Rainie had made them while waiting for her party.\u00a0 She was justly proud of her accomplishment.\u00a0 She never had been able to make two for each of the girls before and she still lacks petticoats.\u00a0 She said \u201cAddie remarked that she didn\u2019t see how she could get along without her overalls as she has to work\u201d.\u00a0 Then she added \u201cI don\u2019t work much only drag in limbs for the fire.\u201d\u00a0 She has never been to the Cabin so I asked her when she was coming.\u00a0 \u201cWhen I grow big\u201d she answered promptly.\u00a0 I had taken some of the Primary Bible Lesson leaflets with me for Rosie and Boyd who go to school.\u00a0 They read them over and over to themselves and the young-uns.\u00a0 \u201cPap reads them also\u201d said Rosie.<\/p>\n<p>At the head of the branch live \u201cDoc and Paule\u201d.\u00a0 \u201cDoc assists women and cows\u201d said Nancy Jane.\u00a0 Since her acquaintance with nurse Metcalf who lived at the Cabin before we came, she does not employ Doc for herself but she does call him for the cows on occasions.\u00a0 Since nurse Metcalf insisted on his washing his hands, he is very particular to insist on \u201cscalding water for his hands, even when attending the beasties\u201d.\u00a0 He really has wonderfully small hands and is sent for from far and near.\u00a0 Paule [Polly] was married many years before she would have a \u201cwinder\u201d in her house.\u00a0 \u201cSome one might look in.\u201d\u00a0 But the day we called six years ago she and Doc were sawing out the place in the logs for the window.\u00a0 At last, the dark lean-to kitchen actually fell down.\u00a0 So they must have a new kitchen.\u00a0 So her brother and son got out some logs and squared them for a detached kitchen-house.\u00a0 It has two windows, one to the South and the other to the West so she has sunshine all day long; that is when the sun shines.\u00a0 At any rate there is light.\u00a0 Si her oldest son works the farm, raises some turkeys and is trying to raise coons having made three quite elaborate shed-like enclosures mad of palings with hand split roof boards.<\/p>\n<p>Another family lives on Bear Branch whose house we passed on our way up to the head.\u00a0\u00a0 Upon our return we must stop and see Bennet and Lora his wife with Melvin their son.\u00a0 The boy is now ten years old but so devoted to his mammy that he insists on sharing her bed.\u00a0 So Bennet had to make another for himself.\u00a0 He took pains to make a nice one from black walnut timber.\u00a0 Neither Bennet nor Lora can read so they depend on Melvin to read to them and he is making good progress.\u00a0 His father has made a nice little table to be placed near the fire in the evening to hold the lamp so he can continue his reading.\u00a0 Many books he borrows from the Cabin here and this is one use the Cabin has, to get suitable books for them.<\/p>\n<p>Lora was very sick and I was taking care of her.\u00a0 There was need of special attention to cleanliness so Bennet was urged to spit in the ashes rather than on the floor or any place he chanced to be.\u00a0 He did try while Lora was sick and until she became well and then he became careless and spat anywhere. \u201cIt was his house.\u00a0 He could spit anywhere he pleased and wanted to, he reckoned.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We have been so thankful for the work provided by the Kentucky Relief Commission.\u00a0 Two days a week on the average for each man provides enough for a meagre living.\u00a0 There has also been distribution of flour according to the size of the families.\u00a0 Clothing has also been given.\u00a0 As we are so far from the county-seat, the Red Cross agent for Letcher County sent some packages of cloth and underwear for distribution among the most needy families.\u00a0 I am hoping to receive more as there is still much need.<\/p>\n<p>Spring comes along slowly with many frosty nights which, it is feared, has injured many fruit trees such as the peach, plum and some apples.\u00a0 The days have been fair so the people have been able to get their onions into the garden as well as peas and early potatoes.\u00a0 There is also planting seed for \u201cforward\u201d cabbages.\u00a0 The Relief Commission has plans for the distribution of seed in exchange for road work so \u201cHope springs eternal\u201d on Line Fork as well as in the Blue Grass.<\/p>\n<p>Sincerely yours<\/p>\n<p>Pleas forward to<\/p>\n<p>Miss M Kingman Mt Berry Georgia<\/p>\n<p>Miss H
