Washington, D.C.
July 11, 1920
My dear Eartha,
Just a word to cheer you—received card, and glad to note that Mama White is no worse at least, though I was in hopes she was better.
Brother Ross drops in on me (and I mean drops in) every now and then, so on last Thursday, I carried him to prayer meeting.
The left side of page 1 says:
for me, and tell her I say to get well so she can cook some more cabbage and soup for me, that we can sit up half the night and talk.
Old pal, I do hope by now she is feeling much better. We are still praying for you on this end. Although, Dr. Ford used to tell me I have no religion. Perhaps some day it may be put to its test, some day soon. Love to the Pratts and everybody.
Lovingly yours,
Annie
Page 2 of the letter says:
He said he could not hear Dr. Grimke very good. Of course, Grimke does not try to make deaf people hear.
Mr. Grimke leaves next week for his vacation, which ends the second Sunday in September. Quite long for a pastor, don't you think? Ross hopes to get a church or a government position, but I think he had better find something else to do as he is rather old for either job, and now they are putting men of his age out of the offices on a pension. Hardly think he can make good there. Is he going all his life depending on a little invitation here and there to preach? Did his wife send him from home? It looks so dependent to me. He told me that his granddaughter married Dr. Campbell. How about it? Wish them success. Well, kiss Mama White
