Claude O'Dell to Mr Austin O'Dell April 19th, 1915

Dear Father & All

Am glad you telephoned to me Saturday night so I know just how Ma is. It is pretty tough on you & I guess tougher on her. I should think if Daisy is able to run around so much she might help you take care of Ma some. She was telling me she wanted to get home so fastto help take

care of her. Any how she could be a little more pleasant and not so cranky. She perhaps will have to get over the idea she is the only person. Other people have had babies & not been so ill tempered & I guess she could be a little less so if she tried. I wish I could be there to help you some. I do hope you can get Mrs Elliot to come for awhile.

Wwe are all ok. I have got lots of work to do, but I am going to try to get along along until ? ? ? & George can help. I hope you keep well & that Ma improves. Hope to hear you are getting a long better

Love & best wishes Claude

Does Ma talk much to you?

Was fishing a little while sunday morning & caught 3 trout one weighed 1.5 pounds & the 3 weighed 2.25
