Pa was off with Fred White this afternoon, he had got to carry Ruth home he said. I have been over in the garden picking vegetables and while there Winnie called me over to see her baby it is in short clothes and is large for its age she is proud of it and said she was different from the other one and she certainly looks so, she inquired after you, and apologyzed [[apologized]] for not coming over, and wished I would come over there, so I told her Lena and I would come some time they are doing without a girl Aunt Lydia does, more than the girl did so Edith said, since she came back, from her vacations she was glad to get back think she was home sick.

Sunday morning. Its still raining but perhaps the rain is needed for the fruit and berries, Percy has gone to camp to train for a week with the rest of the homeguards Alice has got a house full of com[any Georgie Taylor and two others, she has company all time through the hot weather and all.

Wallace is still here he seems to be contented and dont mention anything about going home. Abbie wants me over there every day and we have lots of fun. I sweep her rooms with the electrical vacums [[vacuums]] cleaner Fridays. Do you see Helen Dunbar any or Helen May? Ellie wrote up and said Lirrie was dangerously sick with an abcess [[abscess]] in her ear which the Dr was afraid might lead to the brain and that Rachel had got a little girl baby they had named it Sarah well this is all Pa has just come home with the Sunday papers.
