in the midst of all that grows so upon one - and seeing all the people coming and going - Americans English. And Cook's parties having it all bawled to them - And all the queer people who are copying too. We shall not have half time for all we want to do there - Tomorrow we go for all day.
   
This afternoon we Aunt Sarah Constance, May and I went out to the Jardin d'Acclimatation but unfortunately it rained most of the time - otherwise we would have found it an ideal place. It is a place where there is every sort of plant and animal that can be acclimatized and made useful or that any one would want to buy - And all in the most exquisite park with pine groves in it and every variety of woods and waters. There is a riding school and no end of ponies.

To Grandma Leavitt

12 rue Boccador—
June 14—

Dear Grandma

I hardly know where to send this letter, but I suppose 4305 is safe. Perhaps you will be at Beach Haven, and all scattered Aunt Eliza become a Nurse etc - Uncle Will getting his family out to Park. etc - How could they do it. Is Aunt Emily glad or sorry. She has Uncle Will nearer, but they will none of them have enough change.  I am afraid the parcel Julie is taking over will not reach you while you are all together at 4305 and I wanted it to be opened there. It would be all right if Uncle Will should happen to be spending Sunday
