about the absess [....] as much as I knew. She said Davie had a boil on his little bottom when he was three weeks old and it had to be [..eued] & drained too. It was a hard place to keep clean too.

Davie is about the healthiest baby I ever saw [now?].

We got a nice letter from Jean today [&?] she [secured?] to the [a.aei. Oqeuq..].
