we listened to their graphophone. Lena and I were shown over the house, they are very heart irish people and we liked them for their kindheartedness. Friday Lena went to Boston I sent for her to get me some woolen stockins and som spool cotton. She got thirty two handkerchiefs for three cents a piece, some were linen, there were four different grades. among other things she bought a popular book. Pa is reading and laughing over it now. The name is "The Story of Opal. She read it all that evening aloud to me, as we were here alone. I went to bed and left her reading it. I am wondering about the dinner you are both invited to and what you are going to wear, you will have to write me all about it. Lena wants to give you that blue silk skirt she wore that day and got iodine over the bottom of it, she has made it over, but still does not like it, and is going to give it away, if you dont want it, she will give it to Ethel. Jimmies sister is a nurse, but this summer she is going home to Conecticut and is going into the chicken business. Jimmie has turned German so she and Lena most came to a fight, where she was talking against Americans and standing up for them. isnt she a darned fool, well this I guess is enough for now. Ma
