Took a buggy-ride Sunday eve.

Tues. evening Myra and I went to Uncle Elwood Haisley's, staid [[stayed]] all night, and came home this morning. Had a good time.

How time flies! this has been such a short summer. One week from today I start for Earlham. Whoope!

Gathered around the table this evening are: Ma and Calvin reading Stanley; Pa, reading the Bible; and Ora, here by my side reading the papers. Myra and Mark have gone to bed. Walter, Emma, Clint, and Greeley are upstairs, Everette is lying on the floor asleep. 'Twont be long 'fore I will be away from these circles. In the years to come, I may look upon this little flight from home as a trivial affair. But I expect that it will seem as long to me, now, as will the long and wearisome stays of future years. I'm only trying my wings, now.
