User-Contributed Transcription So much company is slightly laborious for the mother I suppose. However Nettie is very good and really quite valuable help. I do not believe Ethel is so much so.
John talks of going down to the Lake by Rail this P.M. and ride home with the young people.
Why do you not write to Marion? Address "Muncie Cottage, Chatauqua, N.Y. After Dinner, John walked over to the T.V. depot hoping to go on a freight to Blk. River but finds that passengers are not allowed. He talks some of going horse back but I presume he will stay at home. I am well pleased to think you are going to the sea shore. I wanted you to so much. It is hot & dry. Every thing burning up under the sun's hot rays.
