accomplished so much good. So I con-
tinued until the following June when
the anniversary of Pres't Young's Birth-
day was to be celebrated by the children
& when those exercises were over, & a
short time after another child was
born to me I was a complete nervous
wreck & am yet; my brain troubling
me to such an extent I can scarcely
endure the children to speak to me
& when they worry me I feel like I
would go raving mad. The oldest one
is a boy of 12 yrs & I am obliged to
remain all day alone with them.
On account of my long seige of help-
lessness we are very much reduced
in circumstances & for that reason
it is very difficult to get help.
