Your father came in late for lunch and sat with us for some time. Homer is interested in trapping at present and went to Walden this afternoon to buy some new traps. Your mother said he had put on long trousers. Wont he looked changed when you see him again. I saw a picture of the Ranch but they didn't seem to know which house you lived in and I was disappointed because I wanted to see it.
