To the Editor of the Observer:
To the friends who are Interested
in us I would say that here at the
town farm we have the best of every
thing and so do the other inmates,
good beds, good food and proper ven
tilation. We find it an ideal old la
dies’ home, sanitarium, hospital and
hotel all in one. Smiling faces at the i
table greet me. at the head of which j
sits Mrs. Gould, a colored lady, who
has been here twenty years aiid who 1
I should judge from what 1 have seen !
was an important helper, as nursei
and attendant on the sick and as I !
have read in the papers, from the
doctors at the hospitals, gives her ‘
valuable services for nothing. Of her j
t will be said, no doubt, when the!
aooks are opened hereafter, she has
lone what she could. Also the same ]
>f Mattie and Mrs. Blackmar, who is I
‘2 years old, never sick, helps about j
washing the dishes and has a pleas-1
tnt word for all. If anybody won- j
lers why we came here the reasons ■
ire very simple. We were liable to !
>e sick, and there wag no one. at I
lome to take care of us. Alice Naza-'
■ian. our niece, would have found a '
dace in some of the hospitals In I
doston for my sister, and I could i
lave lived with her, but as I ami1
growing older instead of younger I
thought that in the hurry of a mini*,
ter s family, especially in his, where
one must answer doorbells and tele*
vh°.Cal1?' 1 should be out of P^ce.
