Ribbon" till 9:30, when my berth, the last, was made up and I

Aug. 2. Sunday
Early morning in N.Y. state found the rain
pattering against the windows and some places
Utica & Syracuse, for
instance, very wet indeed. I got up after we left
Syracuse and a young lady from St. Louis was
moved to scrape acquaintance with me. I read and gazed till we reached the
dear city. The sun shining and things drying after the rain.
Papa met me and we took the car home
to a welcome from the other two at the steps. A nice breakfast and
rest. Did nothing "serious" but unpack my trunk, wrote, read, went to
sleep on the divan and later entertained Edith and then Mary
too on the piazza. We had a good deal of visiting to do and the dear
girls were dear as ever. They tell me Ella

McArthur's, is dead ! I walked down
to Adams St.
Then came home to lunch and letter writing.
