Dear Folks

We have had a nice pouring rain & this afternoon it is partly clearing wether and rather muggy feeling atmosphere. every thing is fresh, lawns have recovered from their brown condition of a month ago & now I would'nt be surprised if a thunder shower worked up before night to clear the air of this mugginess but hope not. I am here alone this afternoon & a shower would not make conditions any the more pleasant. Marion Estin is having a party down to the shore house Hummerock & Alice Winslow her great chum & Careta Marden are the other two who make up the set. they have got to get home around five to get Bert Winslows supper so Alice told her, she takes the crowd down.

I am glad to remain quiet & rest up. you spoke of Mort Lambs paints & brushes well Anna was here Thursday afternoon & so I broached the subject to her as she spoke of being out to clean up the studio & she said that they had a talk before Mort died & he said he wanted his paints & brushes & such things to be given to Vermoski, who was one of his old student, who had always been a friend of his & stood by him she said his brushes

The old cherrytree is lugged off. I heard some one cutting on it so went out & saw the Raychard family. out cutting it up to carry it away. they said the man told them they could have it. so I decided it would not pay to have a fuss over, so told them they might lug it off. I would have liked it to burn. but guess it would have cost more than it was worth to hire some one to cut it up & lug it out of the field. they are poorer than I am guess. a funny world after all we are all for our selves such is life wish I was rich so I could help those who are down & out. a good many such. Gov Landon made a good speech very sensible
