as Talbot says "not a nerve in his body" we are having very cool weather a fire in the store would be acceptable. Pa is pretty nervous he is getting on his shoes & thinking of going down to the store. I do wish he could ride home. We have a morning paper & the Brockton Enterprise at night so manage to keep up with the times. McKay is in the hospital in a critical condition, his wife yesterday made him out a pretty sick man. We are dreading the noise & confusion of the fourth. shall be glad when its over.
