235AUGUST 14 Sun 1910. A beautiful day, but enervating. I reclined in den & on back porch & read most of morning. Made a few prints. Mother & I went to Cro'nest to dinner - in the piazza. Letitia went off till seven & Chan didn't get up till after four. He & Henry played beautifully - made "Seneca Park" in the sand &c. They have a hive of bees & Henry knows a lot about them already. Claude dear went to New York tonight. I went to bed early - so tired. Mon 1911 Nice today. Was very busy sewing &c. Getting Mother ready to go to Dansville Old Home week. She's to "reminisce" at the coterie Thursday - & help receive. Wed 1912 Pleasant and warmish. Mother Dem & Mate & I lunched together - deliberately - at Sibley's. Then took the "Seeing Rochester" ride. Mr. Stern took me home from the office in his Auto. Had a long visit with the people tonight. Old letters &c. &c. Tues. 1913 Warmer. Lunched with Mary Gridley this noon and tonight planned my packing. As usual everything is full! Bed betimes as I was tired. Fri. 1914 Some warmer. More rain this a.m. Lunched with Bess & Mary again. Helen A. sick. Read aloud, did accounts &c. tonight. Our Boys & Eugenie got home this evening. They're been gone since July 9! Mr. Witterman died suddenly this evening. Felix

is an angel! War the topic.
