Mr & Mrs McDonald & Miss Field left
today. These were given the usual
send off. Blowing of horns, etc. The
only difference from the olden days
is, they leave by auto now instead
of by stage. Have knitted quite
a little. Am going dowwn the back
of my sweater. Wrote mother. There
wass a brilliant sunset. Vivid
colors all over the sky. Letter
from Bess C.

Mary put in a bad night. Has
a cold. Harry got up about
midnight & built a fire in the
kitchen range. We played around
in the sunshine this morning.
Took a few pictures. I spend
my entire time with Mary.
She learns things so rapidly.
Can count to six now. We showed
her some mounted [musky?] heads.
She doesn't forget they are [muskies?]
Tonight a man brought in a
beautiful 3 1/2 pound bass.
