Mrs. Mary \. Robinson, OF 21i
Gregory Avenue. n. +. is yet sick.
She has been sick for five weeks.
It was thought once that she was
improving but FOR the past two weeks
she has been real sick. She first
had the Influenza, next it seems that
it developed into other causes. Shc
is much better at this writing. Mrs.
Robinson is somewhat burdcned
over the death message which she
received last Saturday evening Of
her youngest brother, Mr.. Walter G..
Fuller, of Richmond, Va, who died
January 3, 1919. OF course this
trouble adds much to her illness but
we do pray and hope that she will
look 10 the One who docth all things
we'll. We do wish that Mrs. Robin
son will soon be out. She is missed
by her many friends.
