I don't [sic] you need to worry about Mrs. Henderson. If she wants to move it is ok. Mrs. Mattie will find some one else. You seemed quite upset about it but don't let it get you down. Yes, Briscoe come down and stayed 3 days. I was glad to have him down. We had a nice time.
Thanks for sending the clippings-- they were very interesting.
