Here is the sad text of her card:
May 3, Apple Valley
Have moved out in country.
Dear Aunt
I have wrote a card to John this morning. It was not that I did not want to write or that I do not care for the boy but I did not no what to say. They were taken from me by law, so I am mother in name only. I have no right to control them, same as a strainger. Robert is so bad I don't know what will come of him. It has been hard for me and hard for them, but we will hope they will turn out good with a little love.
(can't make out last sentence)

Wow...seems people struggle with their children no matter what century, or how long ago. Poor Ida.
