This is a warmer day damp & muggy but cool in the house. the boy has just been & mowed our lawn. its been three weeks now since it was mowed last.

I forgot to mention in my letter yesterday of the death in Wallace Pennimans [[Penniman's]]family of his oldest son Ralph. he was at the head of history Department in Buffalos High Schools. George Monk called me up Friday to tell me that his ashes were to be brought here to be buried in the family lot, Tuesday afternoon. with a few services at the grave at two o'clock. but I dont know how I can go. its the first break in the family. he has been lucky. this boy had only been married a short time he married a widow with no children.
