Your Letter received so sorry to heare of yere being sick. Saw account
in news. This seen is [illegible] down second street. The
"x" [near the base
of the utility pole] is Arvin's back gate where they did live. The house
faced front. You ought of bin heare it was some sight to behold. Lots of
People suffered down near Licking river in west end. The watter was
almost
in second storry. We took a boat ride on Monmouth, 2nd & York St.
We had lots of fun out of it but was worried to for fear we might
have to move. The river is down in her banks again but it is raining
today. We
are a little worried for fear it comes up again. You bet the high watters wont
catch us next spring if I can find a house to move into. Ella
