any where but it is cooler at home, so it is just as well perhaps and then Lena comes home early the same as you used to. it seemes so long ago since you were here at home, do you like in the new place I think you must enjoy your piazza and should think that hot nights you could sleep out there. How is Chippie  can he keep cool this weather. I pitty the dummy if he cant.

Dear Doris-
  Your two letters came to us together on Thursday's morning mail. We were all anxious to hear from you as we had been looking all the week thinking, perhaps it was not easy for you to mail them as you were living so far out in the suburbs. We have had a week of terrible, sticky, muggy, weather, and for the last two days it has been much better still, the gardens are coming along fine. We had summer squash beets, and cucumbers, out of the garden, for dinner, and berry pie for desert. that with a pot roast filled the bill, Since dinner Lena has been out in the yard trying to catch butterflies there are lots of them flying around nowadays the gypsies are the most plenty ful.  We think if you build your house you had better have hard wood floors well polished as they are easy to keep clean.  Mabe though
