for Mildred there seems to be much friction between them. Sue is going down to Hummerock  with Mabel Johnes Family, Alice and Percy are staying another week they are down to Newport Maine. I hope when you came up that you may have a dip in the briny ocean. I see you have sent along your bathing suits, we had cucumbers and summer squash from our own garden for dinner to day. our meal was minus fruit instead this hot weather. My appetite is improved since I stopped crotcheting [[crocheting]] so much, thats [[that's]] whats [what's]] the matter I guess but after a little while I can do a little each day and not try to do so much maybe, I mus [[must]] get ready now to go down to the damned Methodist Church I suppose, how I hate it. well hope Burt will be satisfied Charles hates it as bad as I do. Well after the funeral. there were more than I anticipated. Charley did'nt [[didn't]] have his mind after the first shock so that, I guess reconciled the family to his death more, he lived nine days after the first one, didnt [[didn't]] look a bit natural. Horace thinks he will be the next one to be taken.
