Pa came crawling into my bed when it first began to thunder but it was soon over & he was gone. it has been cloudy all day so far & cool. yesterday it felt like a shower hot. I am sorry you are so hot & suffering from the effects I dont know how you stand it Mt. Vernon Seminary, Washington keep a going. it must be terrible hard for you all. but your cool days once in a while relieve you a little. that building must get pretty warm such days. how is the basement where Sidney works? well I got my first natives of strawberries to day two boxes for .25 I only took one they were large boxes Mitchells team. they had nice looking peas for .60 a peck but I did'nt [[didn't]] get them. they were just like those I used to get of Gernaco the old Italian years ago when you & Lena were here. well I hope your hot climate dont [[don't]] overcome you go slow & eat sparingly I have just eaten supper & now will finish reading my book as it has to go in tomorrow early Ma

PS Louis has just left his bill tonight. hope you dont [[don't]] think it too steep
