To wear with the pink sash, I hope you blessed were not very sadly diseased. Today and night you will be pretty busy, if you sit as your white dress to the reception, you could put on the clean coldest look & wear the frosted India for the next laugh with the dessert. I suppose you got your Auntie's silver pin, I met her in the street as she had just bought it. The dogs are all right. Ralph Monroe has been photographing the house. Good bye my precious love to Pete & Nellie. Your Hiram. Boston Island June 17th My dearest Child - How have you got through a whole week, the heat came as you said it would.

From Brighton Cricket grounds one day last week, they had their 2s. tickets, one of the Wright boys had hit his head all bandaged up, swelling his right eye, forehead, and nose, he must have got hit pretty hard. Your Grandma is doing very well, she must stay between two and three o'clock in the morning, she has a little attack of shortness of breathing, so that she sits up for a while. Otherwise she gets through the night very well. Edith McReese and her brother were here on Friday. Edith was very sorry not to see you, she is not exactly pretty, but is ladylike and very pleasant. She is much thinner than she used to be. Miss Monham and her niece were here yesterday. Miss B. is a fiddler-looking woman, a great lassie! I have not seen any of the girls, I think. They know you are away. I meant you to take the pink fan with gold tassels.

I suppose Helen will be coming to the Island before long, give my love to her. Ralph's new photos of the house are very pretty indeed. She thought you would work. Ossie was very well done, and he is a good judge. Goodbye, my dearest. I wish I could hear your little whistle. Your affectionate, June 28 Staten Island Sunday It's a long time since I saw child since I saw and we all say the is dreadfully quiet, you or she quite right to stay where you are having a pleasant time. I heard nothing about the brightoners, but it must be very quiet. Lon Balser was married a week ago Saturday, and won't up in the 4. frat. There was no announcement in the papers, and I suppose so soon, I do not see why

They kept it so quiet. They go to housekeeping at Ernest is better, she has trouble with his lung this from Miss Hennett made me two visits in all, we have been making the show for the blue section and the red ashes. She will come again week after next. Your poor child, how do you get on with so few underclothes and that white dress, what a bother. I told Miss K. about it, she will try to alter it. The Post House boys invited the girls of the Fair Ladies to a Mage party to Petchers, I saw them past the evening. I believe it was. Smith asked you on the first Saturday if you were home yet Sunday School Exhibition crowded, many could in, Claire and her Wood outside.
