Mrs. Breed went home yesterday with Horace and Elizabeth. Mrs. Breed will be back again to-morrow. Florence Breed is over at the house alone with the cook so we asked her over to dinner yesterday and to stay all night. Artha and I went over to her house for breakfast this morning.

I wrote a long letter to Mother this morning also one to

or Ben Lomond, or wherever we want to go.

We had a grand swim yesterday afternoon. I have been in every day for over a week now. Alice and I were going on a hike this morning but both failed to wake up in time.

Florence Breed came over last night and we played "Bridge". Mabel and I are going over to her house to a luncheon to-day.

it was selfish of me to tease you to come down when I know that you have so much work to do, but then you can hardly blame me for wanting to see my sweetie.

Mother and dad could not come down this weekend, so we kids were here alone. They are coming down Wednesday and stay until we go home. One of dads boats are going out now.

Helen Dunn came down yesterday to stay with Florence Breed. She is [Dr. Dunn, the dentists - crossed out] the daughter [written above] of Dr. Dunn, the dentist. She and Florence came over yesterday

Mr. Field came down last night and brought George Palmer with him, but they are both going back to-night. George had a day vacation.

Last night Mrs. Breed, Florence Breed and Helen Dunn came over. We played "Bridge". We expect mother and dad down to-morrow.

Wasn't that too bad about Caruso's death. I always loved his voice so much & hoped that sometime I would hear him in reality but now I never will.

Martha and I went to a card party yesterday and had a lovely time. Mrs. Breed & Florence Breed went home to-day.

I do hope I am going to hear that you can come down. There will be no other company, as far as I know. You know how much I want you, dear, so try & come.

Lots of love, Marion
