they were awful good to her though & liked her. I guess they were the only ones every body speaks the same thing about her "a very smiling manner" but look out.

I suppose you are looking out for your trip abroad, hope it will be very much to your liking & hope by now you have heard from Doris, funny she doesn't write.

I have just been talking with Mrs Benoise she has just brought me over a bouquet of violets & wants us to run over to her house, so to be neighborly. I told her we would & to bring her mother over too for I liked to see her any time. George McGarvey says they are the best neighbors that have ever lived there & I quite agree with him. I have had the Colder boy mow my lawn, he said the mower was nice & sharp since Benoise took it over to have it sharpened when he went to work. The Smith son has just walked through our yard. I used to have him mow our lawn 'till he went to Charley Welches to work for him. he also took care of Henri Johnson in his last sickness, a good dispositioned person. I asked about his Aunt, who used to assist in the Post Office. he said she had retired & still lives in the old place on Pleasant Street. The Goward boy is mowing his lawn across the way. everyone is anxious to get their grass mowed the rains have made it grow. this is all I can think of now Ma.
