My own impression of her is that she sometimes seems overcritical and untactful, but anybody who has been connected with institutional work is of course used to minor difficulties and disregards \u201cpinpricks&#8221; if a fine, intelligent piece of work can be done.

When she came to she found herself lying in a pool of blood and realized that her nose was broken. This is the third time it has been broken. And so right there under the horse&#8217;s heels she set her nose, got on again and rode on to Big Laurel, and the next day went to Louisville to see a specialist. The one she saw&#8211;the finest in Louisville&#8211; said he couldn&#8217;t have set the nose any better himself. Isn&#8217;t she a lucky person? Well, then, when she came back she was so eager to get back to her cases, and had to walk about in rain and slush, and now she is lying up at the infirmary with diphtheria. She has been very sick indeed and has had several bad heart attacks, but we think the worst is over now. Her nephew came on from New York to be with her. Of course it will be many weeks before she can do anything now. Indeed we know she will not be able to go back to work again this winter and I think she is planning to go out as soon as she is able. We shall certainly feel lost without her.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I am sorry to have to pester you, again about the glasses, but when the bill for $3.16 came from the American Optical Company for <\/span><b>Rosa May Lewis<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019s glasses I wrote to <\/span><b>Mrs. Garrett Lewis<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and asked her if she wouldn&#8217;t pay, it now and she wrote back &#8220;I don&#8217;t owe for them glasses, I paid Dr. Merrow for them, which was $2.50. You can look for her for your money.&#8221; Now will you tell me about it? Of course the Optical Company is bound to have its money and we would like to get the matter straightened out and closed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thank you for the clipping.

I have been writing all my mountain friends not to bring as any this year, for they just ruin the bushes when they break off the holly for us, and last year they cut down whole trees to bring the holly to us. What I am doing this year is asking then to bring us holly berries so that we may plant them and start a [truncated]&#8211;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>[merrow_llewella_corr_037a.jpg] <\/b>&#8211;<b>\u00a0<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Carbon copy of typewritten letter, page 2 of 2.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211;they won&#8217;t do the same about their homes.
