User-Contributed Transcription right at the house. The first glimpse we got of it was just as we turned a bend in the road and found that it was right in front of us. We thought it one of the most picturesque bits of scenery that we had seen in a long time. It was situated a little above us with a plat of soft smoothe grass on the hither side and woods on the farther side. The house itself is a picture. It is what is called a picket house, and is made of posts set lengthwise in the ground several feet and placed in contact. It is as though fence posts were set in a compact row. They reach about seven feet high. The constitute the walls of the house. The roof is of sod and had, when we went there, a sparse crop of weed two feet high, which were beginning to wither now and must not be pretty well along in the sear and yellow leaf.We got there Tuesday. I returned Thursday. Ella stayed till the next Monday when Mr. and Mrs. Crewdson brought her home.
