to Malcoms boy. when he came with the milk. We have just been to dinner, and Lena is finishing the dishes. We had a pot roast, onions, new potatoes lettuce and an orange pudding. Lenas sister and family are down to manomet beach for a fortnight and invited her down for the week end, but she could not get up in time for her lecture course mon morning. Yesterday she had a letter come from Foxboro Dr [[unclear]] she wants to spend her vacation out to Blakes and have Lena to go to walk with her while here. The rain coat you borrowed of Mrs Blake has just been sent home. I was thinking you carried it home before you went back. We can see blue sky in the west, so I guess its clearing off and it will be good to have the clothes on the line dry I have washed for several days back. The jews last sunday over in Elmes's house were having a christening a boy came two weeks before so that accounts for the racket over there, that Pa thought was a disgrace. tables were spread out in front of their house and they were pretty merry they always have stuff to make them so. I can tell you this is anything but a quiet neighborhood these days. There are only nine children in the family below us who are constantly fighting with the [[unclear]] of posite them. Helen is confined to her bed most of the time now, I must find time to go to see her. Alice Talbot is faithful to go up and do for her, Alice Safford is a nurse and guess she cares for her, isnt it hard not to have any of your immediate family with you at such times. She took good care of her mother. Pa has just started down to Dykemans to see how his blinds get along he has just come home and says some will be ready by Wednesday, so he can bring them home. Johnnies horse he teams around with on thursday. We were over to the garden the other night and Winnie came out and said that Edith had gone to Wells beach for a rest, and I think she took the little girl also with her. The fool makes his horrid noises still. Lena is on the couch in the bay window with her book in front of her, sound asleep she gets pretty tired going in town this hot weather but its a relief to know that she wont have to go to back to the Trade School at the end of her vacation. Well this is about all there is to write this time, dont work too hard. good bye ma
