User-Contributed Transcription a red bird, which Carl had caught for her when it was young. After coming home I asked Mary what they did with their young birds,. Sell them, said she, $1 a pair, I am quite tempted to get a pair what would you say? She has one very fine young singer - We had a sumptuous supper - new potatoes; fried ham (home cured); fresh cherries, stewed; plums; jelly; tomatoes; jelly cake; tea & coffee, water, hot & cold; bread & butter of course and graham pudding - and when we came away a large bouquet each. Mary found there some shells on the mantle like those we have in the parlor and some yellow myrtle in a hanging basket in the piazza - also white oxalis in a smaller basket and another with wandering Jew. They had a great variety of roses but only two are now in bloom a white and a pink - the others are through blooming this year! There were pinks, single & double and pansies - just like yours - tho not so many - the chickens had destroyed what they could! There was a very pretty honeysuckle in flower
