with Chattie, reading & talking, went over to
Mt. Hor lawn & heard a band concert (sitting on
the grass with Chattie) I didn't
stay for other fireworks, but came home & read &c.
July 5. Wed.
Awfully hot, and very busy.
Edith came up tonight (to the
office) and as it looked like rain, I didn't take my wheel, but walked
down with her - Tried to get her to come to supper, but she wouldn't.
July 6. Thurs.
Still hot and horrid and
showry. Mary
came up tonight
(rather late) and spent the rest of the evening. We sat outside in
spite of the mosquitoes - My pictures pleased her (more than they did me!)
July 7. Fri.
Not much cooler but showers
last night made it some better! We all went
to the National tonight to see Frederic
Pauldings' new war play. Marie, Lura,
Laura, Nellie, Mary,
Mr. B, Matie
Hawley &
Ray
arrived!
It was very good - horses & "sojers"
July 8 Sat.
Some better but still hot in the
office. Our things from Uncle's
came yesterday and Mother has worked
till she's about done up - Papa too
was used up tonight. I spent my half-holiday helping a little, but
Mother won't "go slow" and it is
a temptation to tackle everything at once. Char came in to invite us up tomorrow p.m. to see Fred and later I took a bath, and tonight
wrote, visited with Amelie
&c.&c. Enjoy the new library table.
