Mrs Laulebury + Lesters  wife came to see me she is good but has grown thin + deaf like myself hard to talk with, to bad to be so. Ma

Frank when his mother dies? she is older than I am + very religious but has a good disposition. we made a little wood fire just enough to warm up our dinner, the thermometer was most up to 90 [[degrees]] early this morning + quite muggy. so we did'nt care to heat up the house with a coalfire to last all day. I suppose you are roasting down there, how I hate this hot temperature + guess you do. it takes all my vitality, cold days for me, my blood is good. but we have had cool weather all this spring + no need of complaint about the weather so far. 

Little Marie is mowing the lawn over to the Ballantines, she has been at it all the afternoon dressed in a bathing suite. Mary Lagthon saw her when they brought Mrs Barry home from church, she was scandalized, guess being in her retired home, she has'nt been used to seeing women dressed that way. Mrs Ring is another, she hates her, another reason she never goes to their church, she is no Catholic, but is a good little girl just the same we think. My lawn needs mowing but I have to wait for the Leonard boy to show up in order to have it mowed I hope he shows up soon. we are waiting for Hooker the ice cream man to show up but he doesnt stop here Bill brings it  when he comes always  Ma
