Now this is what the old cook looked like......... poor her. She's got Scarlet fever. Shes been in bed for six days already and doesn't seem to better. Her names Elena, shes so nice and a great cook, i visit her every day to see if shes recovered. But just seems to get weaker every day. I asked Mrs Patricia if she would get better but she said there was no way of knowing. Grandma got Scarlet fever, Elena reminds me of her. I hope Elena doesn't pas away ( like grandma), for shes the only one that seems to understand me. She told me that i don't have to go to America. She said i could live with her, on the ship............. in the kitchen. That would be nice. But if I'm supposed to live here i want to live with Elena, shes got a good soul.
