self a great deal. but think on the whole she did pretty well. we used to play checkers after supper. Fred Clapp talked of coming up to day. he will ask Pa to ride around to see property, but I dont think he will think of going. I met Ralph in the drug store & he said Maude was going to Nantasket by trolly to give the folks the key to the cottage. they were down ther the nigh before to see that everything was all right they had installed the gas & now they hope the party who is hiring it will decide to stay longer. his is the latest styled Buick. I have just carried down the butter & got some daubed on this letter. I got a letter from Alice & she is taking care of a woman in NH and gets $10. a week. I am going down town now if I can live to get there Pa is so crazy to have me start he gets so stirred up over nothing
