up on Watch Point from the lake today this p.m. Mr.
Abbott & Mr. Best
blazed a trail right straight up from camp to the Look out on Watch
Point.
Mr. Best is a real woodsman - a real man anyway & a very
magnetic one - adored by his pupils & I suspect by many others. He'd be a
real hero on the stage - & has the gift Helen
Davis has of taking a personal interest in one. After supper we went
out on the lake - still very beautiful. Heard a thrush and loon's "Maniac
laughter" and foxes bark. We went to Stony Island and climbed
up on the high rocks the boys dive from, and watched a beautiful sunset. The
view over toward Snowy & camp is fine. Later we cruised
around again in the after glow and the lovely moonlight - and heard our camp
sing hymns - and also the Farrington's. Miss
Abbot's voice rang out clear and sweet. When we came in they
still sang for awhile but went away till only Alfred Abbot and
we three were left - and we sat late, watching the moonlight and the dying
fire.
Margaret Pitkin and Alfred Titsworth were
only - at the lodge I think, & came in while we sat there - A fine handsome boy
and a charming girl.

As I promised Marylast night I was up at
5 and "made a noise like a cup of coffee" at
