258SEPTEMBER 6 Tues 1910 Henry 4 today! A stiff land breeze and lovely sky this a.m. The "Iroquois" left with only 4 men (the other 4 went back by train) I took a walk & then "Mrs Schultz" (a girl I've seen in Sibley's tea room) took me up the river - but the breeze was so stiff. We got out on the other side and explored Oak Orchard. After dinner took a nap! and then, at 3, walked to Carlton "Ins Bridges" and around thro' the old wooden one & back the Oak Orchard road - loafed, rested, took pictures! When "Charlie
" rowed me across it was 5 o'clock. Changed & walked - lovely sunset - walk on pier, talked & wrote. Wed 1911 Rather a gloomy day for our 5-year old. I was very busy & worked thro' till 3 (no lunch!) & then went to his party Frances - the 2 [illegible] children & Gracie [illegible] (& John
 later) They all behaved beautifully. Flew Airships &c. outdoors & in door had 2 birth- day cakes and presents & lots of fun. I took some pictures. Mr. Balou (of Boston) came up with Claude. In the evening I went with Chat, Frank, Lura & Mrs. B. to see the Carleton Opera Co. in the "Mascot" - no good, either!
Mr. Parry's birthday too, Lura says.
 Fri. 1912 Henry 6 years old. Went up this morning to take him St. Nicholas & had a nice time. He liked it. Tonight went up to the "party". (Frances D.) Helen & Mrs. Ramsdell were there to supper. Mrs. R.
 told us funny European experiences. Sat. 1913 A great day - up at 5 at Kingston and so on down to Prescott. (2 hrs) and back took by 5 p.m. - a day of joy for Henry's 7th birthday. His eyes shown bright all day. Chan enjoyed it too but got more tired. He went to sleep against me out on the forward deck while H. & I were watching shooting stars. Hammon met us at the station and CF was sitting up. Got an awful stiff neck & felt pretty rocky at 1:30 when I went to bed. Sun 1914 Our little Boy is 8 today! Rain. Read "When Ghost meets Ghost" in the shack. Had a row up to Mrs. Bowen's & to see the little Bride & Groom from Ossining, who are camping on the rocks Mr. Tallmage from the other sides of the bald was here to dinner & I sat in the sitting room & listened to his stories most of the afternoon. It was gloomy enough outdoors & pouring rain. A fire & a loaf in the Shack in the evening as usual. The Cookes are awfully nice.
